PREFACE. 



Twenty years ago I began to collect material for this volume. It is 
a natural desire, common to us all, to know about our kin. In this way 
we come to understand ourselves better. A genealogy is a kind of an 
analysis of our particular tribe, so that we can consider the elements of 
which we are composed. I have always thought our family was a good 
one, one that we might be proud to belong to ; now I know it. It is an 
industrious, intelligent, and religious family. 

Desiring to keep to facts, I begin with our ancestor, Timothy Green, 
Sr. ; and I have, with few exceptions, I think, recorded in this book 
the names of all his descendants to this date. To the names I have 
added, when I could get it, something of the history of the older and 
prominent members of the family. I have also printed tributes to the 
memory of the deceased whenever I could obtain them. 

As to the father of Timothy Green, Sr. (b. Aug. 9, 1723), I can only 
say that, after painstaking research, I have nothing certain to record. 
He must have been born as early as about 1700. The eminent genealo- 
gist, James Savage, the author of a Genealoglical Dictionary of the First 
Settlers of New Huglaud, in four large volumes, on which he expended 
twenty years of labor, says that "there were in the New England colonies, 
before A.D., 1700, eighty persons by the name of Green who might be 
regarded as founders of families." 

Therefore to iind the father of Timothy Green, Sr., is no easy task. 
The Greens of that period were not only very numerous, but the records 
of births and deaths then kept were few and quite meagre ; and of the 
records which were kept some have not reached us. They have been 
lost or destroyed by the way. The Christian name, Timothy, so persist- 
ent in our family, may help us at least to a guess or conjecture. A Timo- 
thy is found in every generation of the descendants of Timothy Green, 
Sr. to the present time. In some generations there are several of them. 
The fondness for this name looks as if it had been in the family before 



IV PRKFACS. 

A.D., 1723, and that in the boy then born the favorite family name was 
only continued. It seems to point to a family of Greens in which there 
had been a prominent citizen whose Christian name was Timothy. 

This condition, besides others, is found in the family of the noted 
Massachusetts Colony printer, Samuel Green. He was born in England 
in 1614 ; he became a freeman in Cambridge, Mass., in 1635, at which time 
he was twenty-one years old. He was the father of a large family of 
children, some of whom settled in Connecticut. One of them, known as 
Dea. Timothy Green (the title Deacon then gave one prominence in the 
community), was born in Cambridge, Mass., in 1679. He became a 
printer, and died in New London, Conn., in 1757, having lived there 
forty-three j'ears. He had been the Connecticut Colony printer and a 
quite prominent citizen in social and religious circles. He was pious and 
benevolent, and possessed in a remarkable degree the well-known Green 
family traits: cheerfulness, story-telling, pleasantry and good humor. 
He had a sou, baptized Mar. 10, 1703, a nephew born in 1737, and a grand- 
son, all named Timothy. These Timothies became printers. 

There is no evidence that our Timothy Green, Sr. was a grandson of 
Dea. Timoth)- Green of New London ; but he may have been a grandson 
of one of Dea. Timothy's older brothers, for some of them settled in the 
eastern parts of Connecticut ; and nothing would be more natural than 
that one of them should be named after his cheerful and popular uncle, 
and that Ruuice Ellsworth, daughter of Serj. Thomas Ellsworth of 
Ellington, Conn., should consider him a good match for herself. 

After having examined the records of many towns in Massachusetts 
and Connecticut, I state this simply as a conjecture, a possible solution of 
the problem, as to the paternity of our Timothy Green, Sr. 

Dea. Horace E. Mather, a skilled genealogist of Hartfoid, Conn., 
has studied this problem, having examined to some extent town and 
church records, and inscriptions in graveyards, and he inclines to the 
opinion expressed above. 

But no one can say now with any degree of certainty who 

WAS THE FATHER OF TiMOTHY GrEEN, Sr., OR IN WHAT TOWN OR 
COMMONWEAI.TH HE WAS BORN, 

When histories of more of our New England towns have been written 
and the numerous family of Samuel Green, the printer of the Indian 
Bible, has been traced out, then some one, long after we are gone, per- 
haps, will be able to answer this now vexed question, Who was the 



PREIfACE. V 

father of Timothy Green, born Aug. 9, 1723? In the meantime we may 
be proud of our ancestry ; for the man and woman from whom we know 
we are descended were staunch, upright, patriotic, Godly citizens. Their 
escutcheon bears no spot or stain. 

Here I ought to state that in " A Genealogical Sketch of the Descend- 
ants of Thomas Green of Maiden, Mass., by Samuel S. Green," we find 
six Timothy Greens. The earliest of the six was born May 7, 1706; so 
that he cannot be our ancestor. But the family of this Thomas Green 
was numerous, and it has been very imperfectly traced out. It is far 
from impossible that our ancestor, Timothy Green, Sr., may be found in 
this line. Some of the earlier sons of the family settled in Connecticut. 

The question is asked how we stand related to Gen. Nathaniel Greene, 
of Revolutionary War fame. That we are not descended from him is 
evident, because he was born in 1742. He was the great, great grandson 
of John Greene, who in 1636 came from England and settled in Warwick, 
R. I , and became a friend and colaborer with Roger Williams. 

This John Greene had five sons with many descendants, and at present 
it is not positively ascertained and known that our Timothy Green, Sr., 
was not in one of the lines of descent from him. There is, however, no 
known evidence of it. 

The name Green comes under the class of English local surnames. It 
was first given to those who resided on the village green or common, and 
seemingly indicated a degree of prominence as belonging to the family. 

In the records of the Green family in England the name is spelt in 
four different ways : Gren, Grene, Green, Greene. In our country mem- 
bers of the same family spell their name with a final e or without it, to 
suit their taste or fancy. 

For some time there has been circulating in our newspapers an arti- 
cle entitled " The Green Family." It relates some of the history of the 
family in England; gives what it calls the "Green Coat of Arms," 
with the family motto : Carpe Diem, and an azure field with three bucks 
upon it and a crest of a buck's head. A few days ago I sent a copy of this 
newspaper straggler to Dr. Samuel A. Greene, the Librarian of the 
Massachusetts Historical Society, in Boston, Mass. There is no one in 
our Commonwealth whose opinion on such a document would be more 
weighty. lu his reply he wrote : "I have little faith in this account of 
the Green Family, as given in the enclosed scrap, and I have no idea 
that the coat of arms there given is authentic." 



Vi PREFACE. 

The picture of the Timothy Green Homestead in Amherst, which 
appears as the froutispiece, was presented by my brother Henry Greene, 
who had the house and its surroundings photographed last autumn for 
this volume. 

I here express my indebtedness to Hon. Lucius M. Boltwood, an 
expert in genealogy and the best informed man on Amherst history now 
living, for suggestions and valuable aid in the incipient stages of 
this work. 

The reader of this book will confer a favor upon the author if he 
will communicate to him any facts which correct errors in names or 
dates, or give in any particular more completeness to the family record. 

Since the body of the book was printed the following facts have 
been communicated to the author : 

Harriet Boltwood (Thornton) Follett, d. in Arcadia, Mo., Nov. 3, 1902. 

Mrs. Mary Jane (Moore) Guild, d. in Dayton, Fla., Apr. 12, 1903.

eighty years of age. He is unmarried. He has been by occupation a 
civil engineer. His brother, Lucius Adams Guild, res. in Dayton, Nev. 
He is married and has a family of eight children, four of whom are mar- 
ried. He has several grandchildren.

To forget one's ancestors is to be a brook without a source, a tree 
without a root— Chinese Proverb. 



There is a moral and philosophical respect for our ancestors, which 
elevates the character and improves the heart. Next to a sense of relii?- 
ious duty and moral feeling, I hardly know what should bear with 
stronger obligation on a liberal and enlightened mind, than a conscious- 
ness of an alliance with excellence which is departed ; and a con- 
sciousness, too, that, in its acts and conduct, and even in its sentiments 
and thoughts, it may be actively operating on the happiness of those that 
come after us. — Daniel Webster. 



The immense field of investigation that is opened in tracing the 
ancestors and descendants of a single person is astonishing. In the ascend- 
ing line the ancestors double in every generation. In the first degree 
there are two ancestors ; in the second, four ; in the fourth, sixteen ; and 
by going back for twenty generations it will be found that every man has 
more than a million of ancestors.— Johnson's Univ. Cyc. 



TIMOTHY GREEN, Sr. 



Timothy Green, Sr. ; b. Aug. 9, 1723 (place of birth 
unknown) ; m. Eunice Ellsworth of Windsor, Conn, (date of 
m. unknown); d. in Amherst, Nov. i, 1796; buried in 
Amherst Centre cemetery ; on his grave stone is the following 
inscription : ^ 

All you advanced in years 

Tho' healthy and robust, 
You'r tot'ring round the grave, 

And soon must turn to dust. 



Eunice Ellsworth was b. in Windsor, Conn., Mar. 29, 
1717; died in Amherst May 25, 1792. She was a dau. of 
Sergt. Thomas Ellsworth of Windsor, Conn., born Sept. 2, 
1665. He was a son of Sergt. Josias Ellsworth, b. in England 
in 1629. 



Tradition says that Timothy Green, Sr., was a man with 
a strong will, and of great energy and persistence of character. 
He was patriotic, and in troublous times no one was in doubt on 
which side he stood. He was firm and consistent in his relig- 
ious convictions and habits, and gave freely for the support of 
the church and in aid of every good object. 



2 FAMILY OF TIMOTHY AND EUNICE (EI^SWORTh) GREEN. 

Tradition also says that Eunice Ellsworth, his wife, was 
a woman of strong and decided character, full of enterprise 
and energy, hopeful, cheerful, deeply religious, fond of her 
Bible and church, and adorned with a meek and quiet spirit. 
She made her home happy and was much beloved by all 
who knew her. 



The relationship of Eunice Ellsworth to Chief Justice Ells- 
worth is shown as follows :

Sergt. Josias Ellsworth, b. in England, in 1629; his name 
first appears on the Windsor, Conn., Town Records in con- 
nection with his marriage, Nov. 16, 1654, to Elizabeth Hol- 
comb. In 1665 he bought the property now known as the 
Chief Justice Ellsworth place in Windsor, Conn,

son of (i) b. Sept. 2, 1665.

Timothy Green, Sr. 

(4) Timothy Green, Jr., son of 

(3) b, Jan, 4, 1748,

son of (i) b. June 28, 1669. 

(3) Capt. David Ellsworth, son 
of (2) b. Aug. 3, 1709. 

(4) Chief Justice Oliver Ells- 
worth, son of (3) b. Apr. 29, 
1745. 



Timothy green, sr. 3 

The above shows that Eunice Ellsworth was first cousin of 
Capt. David Ellsworth, and second cousin of Chief Justice 
Oliver Ellsworth. 

Timothy Green, Jr., was also second cousin of Chief Justice 
Oliver Ellsworth. 

Timothy Green, Sr., was one of the incorporators of the 
Second or East Parish, in Amherst, in May, 1783 ; and probably 
one of the original members of the church there. — Carpenter 
& Morehouse's, History of Amherst, pp. 112, 113. 

" In a list of Church voters, in Amherst, before the forma- 
tion of the East Street Church, taken Sept. 17, 1782, I find the 
names of Timothy Green and Timothy Green, Jr." — Hon. I^ucius 
M. Boltwood. 

That shows that both Timothy Green, Sr.,and Timothy 
Green, Jr., were members in the Amherst Center (or West Street) 
Church in 1782. 

" In a list of names of persons who constituted the Second or 
East Street Church in Amherst at the ordination of Rev. Ichabod 
Draper, Jan. 25, 1786, the number of men was twenty-six, of 
women thirty. Among the men appears the name of Timothy 
Green ; among the women the name of Eunice Green, doubtless 
the wife of Timothy Green, Sr." — Hon, Lucius M, Boltwood. 

It is evident from these facts that Timothy Green, Sr., left 
the church in the centre of the town, the First Church, and 
joined those who formed the Second or East Street Church ; but 
his son, Timothy Green, Jr., continued his connection with the 
First Church, 

" Feb. 16, 1769, for one hundred pounds sterling, Joseph 
Billings of Hatfield sold to Timothy Green of Amherst, Mass., 
one hundred and nine acres of land, free of incumbrance. This 
is in the first division of lands in Amherst." — Copied from the 
Registry of Deeds in Springfield. 

The above mentioned land lies about one mile south of the 
Grist Mill in Mill Valley, Amherst, and on the west side of 
the road. 



4 FAMILY OF TIMOTHY AND KUNICE (ELLSWORTH) GREEN. 

From the same registry of Deeds in Springfield the following 
was copied: "Dec. 2, 1770, Timothy Green, Sr., yeoman of 
Amherst, deeded to Timothy Green, Jr., of Amherst, twenty- 
one rods and eleven feet, being part of the above one hundred 
and nine acres ; also the north half of his (Timothy Green, 
Sr.'s) dwelling house and the north half of his cellar, free 
of incumbrance." 

Timothy Green, Jr., was married in 1770, and the above 
arrangement was made in anticipation of his marriage and set- 
tlement in life. 

" On referring to minutes made by me more than fifty years 
ago of the tax rolls of Amherst, I find the name of Timothy 
Green mentioned on the rolls of Feb. 24, 1766, Feb. 1767, 
and Jan. 1768. In all these years he was evidently occupying 
the farm which he bought Feb. 16, 1769, of Joseph Billings of 
Hatfield. In 1767, in 1768 and in 1769 he was taxed for his 
faculty or trade." Hon. lyucius M. Boltwood, in a letter dated 
Nov. 6, 1900. 

Timothy Green, Sr.'s, faculty or trade was that of a cooper. 
The house in which both Timothy Green, Sr., and Timothy 
Green, Jr., lived was a wooden or frame house. Whether it 
was built by them or had been built when they first occupied 
the land in 1765, w^e do not know. But we do know that 
Timothy Green, Sr. lived in that frame house till his death, 
Nov. I, 1796. His wife, Eunice Ellsworth, lived there till her 
death, May 25, 1792. Eunice Clark, Timothy Green, Jr.'s first 
wife, began her married life in that house in 1770, and there 
she died in 1776. All of Timothy Green, Jr.'s twelve children 
were born in that house. In 1809, Joel Green, the eighth child 
of Timothy Green, Jr., moved off the wooden house and built 
on its site the brick house which stands there now in 1902, 
The bricks were made on the farm, Joel Green was m. in 
the autumn of 1809, and he began housekeeping in the new 
house. His father, Timothy Green, Jr., was then sixty-one 
years old, and his mother fifty-six. All of Joel Green's nine 



TIMOTHY GREBN, SR. 5 

children were born in the new house. There, also, Timothy- 
Green, Jr., d. in 1 821, and his second wife, Sybil (Hastings) 
Peck, in 1819. 

The only child of Timothy and Eunice (Ellsworth) Green 
was Timothy Green, Jr., b. (it is supposed in Ellington, Conn.) 
Jan. 4, 1748. 

The following letter, written Feb. 15, 1902, by Rufus 
Greene, Esq., of Marathon, Iowa, explains itself. It gives 
valuable information about Timothy Green, Sr. 

"Rev. J. M. Greene, D.D. 

Dear Cousin : — Yours of Feb. 5th has been received. I regret that 
there is no official record of the service of our ancestor, Timothy Green, 
Sr., in the French and Indian War ; yet I feel certain that he was in the 
service for quite a length of time. I also believe he was employed as a 
scout at least a portion of the time during his service. I will give you 
the foundation of my belief. 

My uncle, Joseph K. Peck, in telling me about Timothy Green, Sr. 
and Timothy Green, Jr. (whom he always called grandfather and father), 
being soldiers in the Revolutionary War, said (I will let him tell the story 
as near as I can :) ' Father was called out with the militia to go to the 
support of Gen. Schuyler. Grandfather, far past the age limit to be sub- 
ject to military duty, volunteered to take his ox team and carry supplies 
(I cannot recall now what distance). A neighbor of grandfather, belong- 
ing to the Company which was called out, lamented bitterly the 
hardship of being compelled to go into the army, going as he said to 
certain death, and crying like a baby. Grandfather listened to his weak 
complainings with great disgust, and finally exclaimed : You coward, 
if you will take my team and do my haying I will take your musket and 
serve in your place ! I know the smell of gunpowder and am not afraid 
of it. Grandfather was a soldier through the French and Indian War. 
Oh ! I will do it so gladly, exclaimed his timid neighbor, and went to 
his home. Grandfather and father were actively engaged in the battles 
which preceded the surrender of Burgoyne. Sequel : Grandfather 
reached home late in the autumn, the ground frozen and covered with 
snow, but not a swath of his grass left standing had been cut, even the 
cocks which grandfather had put up were standing in the field as he left 
them. The neighbor had secured his own crops, however, in good condi- 
tion. The base ingratitude of the man (?) impressed the narrative, as I 
used to hear it, on my mind. Also I have a pocket compass, given me 
by my father, which I prize very highly. It was given to my father by 
his father, with the statement that Timothy Green, Sr., carried it in his 
pocket when a soldier in the French War.' 



6 FAMII/Y OF TIMOTHY AND EUNICE (EI<I.SW0RTH) GREEN. 

That is the story as uncle Joseph K. Peck used to tell it. It fur- 
nishes my reasons for believing that Timothy Green, Sr., was a scout, 
because a soldier in the ranks would not need a compass. 

Uncle Peck described Timothy Green, Sr., as tall, broad-shouldered, 
erect, large-boned, large-muscled, large-jointed, and with very large, 
muscular hands — a stalwart man, having apparently not an ounce of 
adipose tissue, and of Herculean strength. Sometimes he would walk 
into the cooper shop where his grandsons were at work, and looking at 
a barrel just completed by them, he would say in a sportive mood, 
' Boy, this is not good work ' ; and then without apparent effort he 
would tear off the chine hoop, made of a hickory pole which grew in 
that locality. He could alone, by main force, lift logs on to a sled which 
two men of ordinary strength would place skids for, and roll or slide 
on with handspikes. I wish we knew something of his mental quali- 
ties as well. 

Yours very truly, 

RUFUS GREENE." 
Marathon, Iowa, Feb. 15, 1902. 

" There can be no doubt now that Timothj^ Green, Sr., 
was in the French and Indian War — most likelj' in Massachu- 
setts" — Horace E. Mather. 

Dea. Mather is a skilled Genealogist, residing in Hartford, 
Conn. He wrote the above after having read the letter from 
Rufus Greene, Esq. 



TIMOTHY GREEN, Jr. 

Timothy Green, Jr. ; son of Timothj^ Green, Sr., and 
Eunice (Ellsworth) Green ; b. (it is supposed in Ellington, 
Conn.) Jan. 4, 1748; m. (i) at Amherst, in 1770, Eunice 
Clark, who was b. in Amherst, Aug. 11, 1750, and was the 
oldest child of Simeon and Rebecca (Strong) Clark. Her 
father and mother were m. in Northampton, Nov. 2, 1749, 
by the illustrious Jonathan Edwards, whose parishioners they 
were. They immediately settled in Amherst, and there their 
twelve children were born. Rebecca Strong was a near relative 



TIMOTHY GREEN, JR. 7 

of the renowned Gov. Caleb Strong. Her father was an inti- 
mate and firm friend of Jonathan Edwards, when his parish in 
Northampton turned against him. The house where Eunice 
Clark was born and reared .stood on the brow of Boltwood's 
hill, looking toward Hadley and Northampton. The house 
was back in the lot twenty-five rods or more, on the south side 
of the highway which leads from Plainville to the centre of the 
town of Amherst. I remember the house well. In my youth 
Uncle Justus Clark, a brother of Eunice Clark, lived there. 
Eunice (Clark) Green d. at the Timothy Green homestead 
in Amherst, May 6, 1776, aged twenty-five years. 

Timothy Green, Jr., m. (2) at Amherst, in 1780, Sybil 
Hastings Peck, the widow of Joseph Kelley Peck. She was a 
dau. of Thomas and Mary (Belden) Hastings, and was b. in 
Amherst, Oct. 9, 1753 ; she was a sister of the Thomas 
Hastings, who was the father of Submit Hastings, the wife of 
Clark Green. By her first husband she had one son, Joseph 
Kelley Peck, who was born in Amherst, Nov. 4, 1776. She d. 
at the Timothy Green homestead in Amherst, April 13, 
1819, ae. 66 years. 

Timothy Green, Jr., in 1765, when he was about seventeen 
years of age, came (it is thought from Ellington Conn.) to 
Amher.st with his father and mother, settled in the southern 
part of the town ; was a farmer, and by trade a cooper ; occu- 
pied the same house with his father ; his children were born 
and reared there ; he was a member of the First Church 
in Amherst and a constant attendant upon the services ; 
an energetic and upright man, a patriotic and courageous citi- 
zen, one on whose name there was no stain. On the old Green 
homestead, in the brick house which stands there now (1902) 
he d. Sept. 7, 1821, at the age of 73 yrs., 8 months. He and 
his wife, and his father and mother were buried in the same 
lot in the cemetery in the centre of the town of Amherst. 

Timothy Green, Jr., or his first wife, Eunice Clark, one or 
both of them, must have been a member of the First Church 
in Amherst, because their children, Timothy, Zerah and Clark, 
were in their infancy baptized there. Also he must have been 
a member there, because Eunice, his dau. by his second wife, 



8 FAMILY OF TIMOTHY AXD ECXICK (ELLSWORTH'* GREEN. 

and Sybil, another dau. by the same wife, were baptized in 
that church, respectively Jan. 6. 1782 and Sept. 7, 17S3. 
This was before the mother of these daughters had become a 
member of the church. She joined the First Church in Amherst. 
May 2. 17S4. on profession of her faith. 

I have heard my father say that he remembered well that 
his grandfather, Timothy Green. Jr., was always at church on 
the Sabbath. He drove a span of well fed horses, and, in the 
farm wagon, with chairs or boards for seats, he brought a large 
load of devout worshippers everj* Lord's da\". He always drove 
up and unloaded his family at the steps to the front door. He 
had a commendable pride in his wife and children. 

Timothy Green, Jr., was a minute man, i. e. one of a class 
of enrolled militiamen, during the American Revolutionary 
period, who held themselves in readiness for instant service in 
arms whenever summoned. 

The following items were copied by me from the Revola- 
tionarj- Archives in the State House in Boston : 

" Timothy Green appears with the rank of Corporal on the 
Muster and Pay Roll of Capt. Samuel Fairfield's Co.. Col. 
Nathan Sparhawk's Regiment. Time of service, two months, 
fifteen days. Town to which the soldier belonged was Amherst. 
Did duty at Dorchester." 

" Timothy Green appears on the Lexington Alarm Roll, 
Capt. Reuben Dickinson's Co., Col. Woodbridge's Regiment, 
which marched on the alarm of April 19. 1775 from Amherst. 
Town to which the soldier belonged was Amherst. He was a 
Private. Length of service twent\--one days." 

" Timothy Green appears among a list of men given on 
a credit bill of Capt. Reuben Dickinson's Co., Col. Porter's 
Regiment. Service credited was one year, five months, three 
weeks." Other items could be given. 

The grandchildren of Timothy Green, Jr., represent him 
as a man full six feet in height, erect, weighing about a hun- 
dred and seventy pounds, having a good-sized and well- formed 
head, a face full of intelligence and decision, yet calm and 
winsome. His complexion was dark. In old age he wore his 



TIMOTHY GREEK, JR. 9 

hair somewhat long, and his locks were as white as the driven 
snow. He was social in his nature, and given to good humor 
and pleasantry'. He loved to give and knew how to take a joke. 
Though he was somewhat positive in what he thought was 
right, he was always a friend of children and youth. 

He was public spirited : attended the town meetings and often 
held office in the town.

Amherst College. 



The Plan of this book is as follows : The whole book is a 
Genealogical Tree, of which Timothj- Green, Sr., and Eunice

TIMOTHY GREEN, 3d.— BRANCH. 

Timothy Green, 3d, son of Timothy Green, Jr., and Eunice 
(Clark) Green; b. in Amherst, Mar. 27, 1771 ; m. Dec. 25, 
1800, Huldah Harris of Amherst; d. in Weybridge, Vt,, Aug. 
26, 1847, ^6- 76 yrs. She was b. in Amherst, Apr. 2, 1774 ; 
her father and mother died when she was quite young, and she 
was brought up in the family of Seth Coleman, M. D., one of 
the most prominent, cultured and public-spirited families in the 
town. Dr. Coleman was noted as a physician ; and he was 
Clerk and Treasurer of the town of Amherst for many years. 
He was a very earnest Christian man. A memoir of him was 
written and published. She d. in Weybridge, Vt., July i, 1850. 

Timothy Green, 3d. was by occupation a farmer and a 
cooper. He must have moved from Amherst to Weybridge, 
Vt., as early as 1807, for his wife in December of that j^ear be- 
came a member of the Congregational church in Weybridge. 
February 11, 1814, he received a deed of eighty acres of land in 
Weybridge, which land he bought of Elijah Clark. His farm 
was about two miles from the church in Weybridge. 

" Timothy Green, 3d, united with the Congregational church 
in Weybridge, Vt., in September, 1821. He attended all the 
public services of the church, and was always at the prayer 
meetings ; and he had something good to say, and was ready to 
lead in prayer. I can now, after more than fifty years, remem- 
ber some of the good and helpful things he said in the prayer 
meetings. He was poor in this world's goods, but an honest. 
Christian man whose memory I greatly respect." — Dea. Samuel 
James, of Weybridge, Vt., in 1902. 

" My grandfather was a cooper by trade ; he did not own a 
farm in Massachusetts, but thought that by the aid of his boys 
he could clear up a farm in Vermont, and after a time own a 
comfortable home. My grandmother used to tell us they were 
very prosperous for a time ; but grandfather was a kind and 
obliging man who could not say no to his friends. He signed 
notes for them, and he, like many another who has become 
' surety for a neighbor,' had to pay the notes, and thus 
lost his farm. 



12 FAMII.Y OF TIMOTHY AND EUNICE (EI.I,SWORTh) GREEN. 

"From grandmother's account, they were very jolly and 
light hearted in their younger days, before they had so much 
trouble and sorrow ; and they were always very pleasant and 
kind to each other, and fond of us children. The visits I used 
to make at Grandfather Green's are among my most cherished 
childhood recollections. I can see them now sitting in front of 
the old-fashioned fireplace in their arm-chairs, while we children 
sat in our little chairs at their knees, listening to the stories of 
adventure and hardship of their pioneer life ; iinless it happened 
to be Saturday, when, at sunset, all the weekday work and 
thought were laid aside, and we had Bible stories told us, or 
were taught the Catechism, till bed time. 

" Grandfather always asked a blessing at the table, and 
always had family prayers morning and evening. They both, 
grandfather and grandmother, belonged to the Congregational 
Church, and always attended church and prayer meetings, till 
they were too feeble and infirm to go. 

' ' I wish I could describe my grandmother to you as I call 
her up to memory after these long, busy years. I often wonder 
if I did not have a feeling of regard for her different from 
what other children feel for their grandmothers. I cannot 
describe the feeling, but it seems to me that it was more than 
veneration. She was a woman of medium height and rather 
stout, and in her old age considerably bowed over. Her com- 
plexion was dark ; her features were strongly marked, her nose 
large and her chin square. I should say she was neither 
nervous nor impulsive, but very firm and unyielding, though 
she was always social, generous and hopeful. She was a 
person whose influence for good must have been felt deeply in 
her family and in her church." — Mrs. Lucia Ann Pinney, 
Feb. 23, 1902.

"My grandfather's oldest son Barnard, on whom he seemed 
to lean, was thrown from a horse on training-day, from the inju- 
ries of which he died. He was a young man of rare promise. 
Grandmother said that the death of this son broke grandfather's 
spirit entirely. He was never the same afterwards." — Mrs.

fession a physician. He studied and took his diploma at Mid- 
dlebury College, Vt. ; he also studied in a Medical school at 
Castleton, Vt. Besides practising his profession he was always 
active in the work of education. He was for several years In- 
spector of Schools in Marion, N. Y. ; and when that office was 
changed to Town Superintendent he served the town in that 
capacity several years more. He and the Superintendent of 
Palmyra, N. Y., organized the first Teacher's Institute which 
was held in Wayne Co., N. Y. It was held in Palmyra, N. Y., 
for two weeks. He and his wife were members of the Congre- 
gational Church in Marion, N, Y. He moved to Marion, N. Y., 
in the spring of 1840, and spent the rest of his life there. Before 
going to Marion he taught school in the eastern part of the state 
of New York, and he practised medicine in KHzabethtown, 
Essex Co., N. Y., and in Macedon and Sodus, Wayne Co., N. 
Y. He was a man of decided character and firm principles, and 
had many warm friends. Besides being connected with the 
public schools in the town of Marion, he held in the church the 
of&ce of Trustee. His wife taught for many years in Marion a

TIMOTHY GRKEN, 3d.— BRANCH. 15 

"My father and motlier and my grandfather and grand- 
mother Green were all buried in the cemetery at Wej^bridge, 
Vt. I cannot remember of ever seeing my father a well, able- 
bodied man. I think he began to have hemorrhages from his 
lungs before he was thirty years old, so that he was always an 
invalid after I could remember him, and unable to do any but 
light work; He had a U. S. mail route that he used to ride twice 
a week, taking the mail from one P. O. to another. He was very 
fond of reading books and of studying nature. He used to take 
us children on long walks in the forests, pointing out the dif- 
ferent kinds of trees and flowers, and showing us the different 
ways in which the birds built their nests and other interesting 
natural objects. 

" My father and mother were both members of the Congre- 
gational Church in Weybridge, Vt. My mother was a very 
reserved, modest-appearing woman, but ver}^ amiable ; her 
mantle of charity was broad enough to cover anything ; nobody 
had a fault but she seemed to have an excuse for it." — Mrs. 
lyucia Ann Pinney.

age of thirty-three years. 

" My brother, Rodman Clarke Green, was a born doctor, 
and he cared for nothing else. In all our plays as children he 
never aspired to anything but to act the doctor, and he went by 
the name of ' doctor ' from a small boy to manhood. He had 
nothing but his hands and his will to help himself with ; and 
often while preparing for college he would do a day's work on

a week to recite them. He stood high in his studies, taking 
prizes in his classes, and after^vard he was an authority in his 
profession; but he killed himself getting it. Probably he inher- 
ited weak lungs and a tendency to consumption. He was a 
large-hearted and public-spirited man, and lived to do good." —

" M)^ father left Massachusetts for Vermont with his parents

daughter, Louise Glass, to live in Harris, Osceola Co., Iowa, 
where he died Mar. 15, 1896." — Mrs. Huldah Louise (Green) 
Glass. 

" Our father, Ancil Dickinson Green, was a strong, earnest, 
honest and faithful man, and very much beloved and respected 
by all who knew him. He was for many years the Superintend- 
ent of the Sunday School, chorister, class-leader, and leader of 
the prayer meeting. He was a member of the Wesleyan Meth- 
odist Church. His neighbors depended upon his judgment in 
cases of sickness, affliction, or trouble of any kind. He was 
kind and had much practical wisdom. He was a spiritually- 
minded man. Children all called him " Father Green," and 
the}^ loved and trusted him. He was patriotic. At the time of 
the Civil War he joined a company of grey-haired men who 
were ready to serve as home or prison guards. We children 
had a deep and strong love for our father, for he was always 
kind to us and often our playmate." — Mrs. Harriet Adeline 
(Green) Jones, Oct. 23, 1901. 

" Our mother was an earnest Christian, and was remarkable 
for purit}' of speech, strength of conviction and fearlessness in 
carrying out her convictions. She was generous and kind to 
the poor and oppressed, deeplj^ interested in missions and all 
movements for reform. She was earnest in her efforts to see all 
her children converted to Christ and members of a Christian 
church ; and in this respect her prayers were answered and her 
efforts crowned with success. 

I want to add to what my sister said of father, all of which 
and more I know to be true, that the love existing between our

for myself in my children's hearts the tender place my dear,

ers, except the youngest, who died before she was old enough 
to teach, were teachers in the public schools." — Mrs. Huldah 
Ivouise (Green) Glass. 

' ' I cannot speak too highly of my mother. Always feeble 
in health, she has fought with adversity and won a continued 
victory. Her body has often given way under the severe strain, 
but her courage and energy never failed. By dint of toil and 
rigid economy she provided for us, her boys, while we were too 
small to help her. With her own hands she earned our bread 
and clothes, and at the same time paid off the debt on our little 
home in Sycamore, DeKalb Co., 111. Her Christian charac- 
ter is and alwaj^s has been spotless. She is one of God's 
real saints on the earth. Although aged and feeble, her faith is 
strong, and she still retains that inflexible energy and Christian 
hope and courage which have always characterized her. She is

came as near living above censure and criticism in his Christian 
life and profession as it is possible to a mortal with the condi- 
tions of our earthly environments." — 

A scoffer at religion said : " As much as I hate the church 
and everything belonging to it, yet if I could be such a Christian 
as Timothy Green is, and live such a life as he leads before 
men, I would give up every evil way and live that life." 

"My mother was an earnest and sincere Christian. She was 
devoted to her familj^ and nothing was too hard for her to do 
or suffer if she could make her home happy and prosperous. 
She enjoj^ed her family, and though full of energy and busi- 
ness she was always alive to the needs of her husband and chil- 
dren, and most tender and loving in her ministrations to them. 
After father's death our mother was alwaj's in demand among 
the families of the children who were so fortunate as to be where 
she could reach them ; and it was the testimony of all that she 
was sunshine wherever she went. At last, when she was almost 
seventy-eight years old she passed gently and quietly away, 
surrounded by her five children who were born to her after her 
removal to Wisconsin ; and we all felt that ' When God gath- 
ered the grain that was golden, our mother died.' " — Mrs. 
H. E. Moore.

ZERAH GREEN.— BRANCH. 

Zerah Green, sou of Timothy Green, Jr., and Eunice 
(Clark) Green; b. in Amherst, June i8, 1773 ; m. Eleanor Morton 
of East Amherst, Mar. 28, 1799 ; (her father John Morton, b. May 
13, 1745, was a second cousin of Mary Morton, the mother of 
Oliver Smith of Hatfield, and grandmother of Sophia Smith, 
the founder of Smith College in Northampton, Mass.) 

Zerah Green was a farmer by occupation ; he was a Chris- 
tian man, leading his family in the reading of the Bible and in 
prayer every morning, and in asking a blessing and returning 
thanks at every meal at the table. They all stood while the 
blessing was asked, and rose from the table after eating and 
stood while thanks were returned. That was the custom in 
those days. There is no record of Zerah Green's membership in 
the First Church in Amherst, but it is thought that both he and 
Jonathan Woods were members of that church. They were con- 
stant attendants upon the church services there. They resided 
in another town than Amherst, and therefore their names may not 
have been recorded in the church books in Amherst. The church 
records were carelessly kept at that time. They are too often 
so kept now. My father always spoke of his father, Zerah 
Green, with great tenderness and affection, and he named one of 
his sons after him. Zerah Green died in Hadley (Plainville) , 
Mar. 28, 1813, of pneumonia. He had nearly recovered from an 
attack of it, but was so full of energy that he could not wait 
to get quite well, and exposed himself to the cold too soon ; had 
a relapse and died. He res., after his marriage, in Amherst, 
till 1806, when he bought of Dea. Zachariah Hawley, in Had- 
ley (Plainville), the homestead on which both he and his wife, 
Eleanor Morton, lived the rest of their natural life, and where 
they both died. The place was afterwards known as the "Dorus 
Green homestead." I have a little book entitled "Washington's 
Legacy"(Farewell Address) , which was presented to Zerah Green, 
as a certificate of his membership in the ' ' Washington Benev- 
olent Society of the County of Hampshire, instituted in the town 
of Northampton, on the 17th of November, Anno Dom., 181 1." 
It is signed by Dr. Joseph layman, of Hatfield, as president.

The badge of the Society bears the words : Pro Patria. The 
whole witnesses to Zerah Green's patriotism and benevolence. 

Eleanor (Morton) Green, was b. in East Aniher.st, Apr. 19, 
1774; she joined the First Church (Congregational) in Am- 
herst, Feb. 12, 1804. She was a woman ot decided character and 
commanding presence. She had a most kind and motherly 
heart and look, and won the respect and love of all who knew 
her. Principle characterized her conduct. She was not emo- 
tional, but intelligent and judicious, as well as tender and sym- 
pathetic and deeply religious in her nature and whole bearing. 
She trained up her children to act from principle, to be, not to 
seem ; and they all reverenced and loved their mother. 

In December, 1817, Eleanor (Morton) Green m. (2) Jona- 
than Woods, a wheelwright, a good, industrious, temperate, 
Christian man, who was born and reared in New Hampshire, 
town unknown. She d. in Hadley (Plainville), Feb. 8, 1847, 
and was buried in the same grave and at the same time with her 
husband Jonathan Woods, who died in the same house with his 
wife, Feb. 5, 1847. They both died of pneumonia. — J. M. G.

June II, 1822, Esther Hawley ; d. in Hadley (Plainville), May 
4, 1877, ae. 77 yrs. 3 ms. 2 ds. He was a farmer of note ; often 
called the best farmer in Hampshire County ; was selectman and 
assessor in the town of Hadley ; a man of large natural abilit}', 
of great sagacity and sound judgment. He was a successful 
business man, and would have been prominent in whatever 
calling he undertook. He was a man of great energy and pro- 
gressiveness. He was one of the first men in the town to take 
a decided stand on the side of total abstinance from intoxicating 
drinks as a beverage. He had a strong will and great decision

of character, and was the very soul of houesty and uprightness. 
Both my father and mother were members of the First Church 
(Congregational) in Amherst. He joined it May 5, 1816 ; she 
joined it the first Sunday in July, 1831. They were very strict 
in their attendance upon the services of the church and upon the 
duties of religion in the home. We always had the reading of 
the Bible and prayer in the family in the morning ; on Sunday, 
morning and evening; and a blessing was asked on the 
food at every meal. My father and mother were exemplary in 
their Christian life. No one of the children ever heard an un- 
kind word pass between their father and mother. Father was 
a Puritan in his ideas ; was not so familiar with his children 
as they would have liked, but they respected and loved him for 
his stern and manly virtues. He set a high value upon educa- 
tion, and lamented that in his youth he had not enjoyed more 
privileges for study. In their later years my father and mother 
removed their church membership from Amherst to the First 
Church in Hadley. Hadley was their residence and they had 
more acquaintances in that town than in Amherst. 

My mother was b. in East Amherst, June 18, 1802 ; dau. of 
Dea. Zachariah Hawley (vid App. B.); was before her marriage 
a school teacher; d. in Hadley (Plainville) Jan. 2, 1892, ae. 89 
yrs, 7 ms. 14 ds. I never heard my mother speak an unkind 
word to any one, nor did I ever see her angry. My father and 
mother made their home a pleasant place for their children, and 
they practised their religion as well as professed it. My mother 
read almost no book but the Bible. She was a model mother and 
one of the highest type of women. She was kind and gentle in 
her bearing, and had a good word for every one. Her children 
respected and loved her. The memory of both our parents is 
very precious to us. — J. M. G.

" My father and mother were home people. No place on earth 
was so dear to them as their home, and they aimed to make it 
attractive. My father was a very kind man ; had a fund of 
quiet humor and enjoyed a well-timed joke. He had a cordial, 
cheery word of greeting for every one. His children loved him 
tenderly, and they always found him a true friend to them. 
Often he said, when he saw others disagreeing and contending, 
that it is better to live peaceably and yield than to quarrel and 
contend. He was a peacemaker. Also, he always kept his 
word. He used to say that one's word should be as sacred as 
his bond. It was so with him ; and he stood for honesty in 
business and truth in all things ; and he taught his children to 
do the same. 

My mother was a woman of unusual ability. She was 
early thrown upon her own resources and thus became self- 
reliant and had a clear and strong mind. She had great cour- 
age and dared to do what she thought was duty. If she had 
had an education, such as is now given to our girls, she would 
have been prominent among the women of her time. She was 
fond of books and a great reader. One thing I remember with 
great pleasure : she always read her Bible the last thing at 
night before retiring. She trained up her children to love and 
read the Bible, and to live a life of faith and prayer to God," — 
Mrs. Caroline (Greene) Hawley.

He was a lineal descendant of the original settlers of the town 
of Amherst. He was the sixth in descent from Thomas Haw- 
ley, one of the earliest settlers in Roxbury, and fourth in descent 
from Samuel Hawley, one of the " east inhal)itants " of Hadlej' 
in 1 73 1, and one of the original members of the First Church 
in Amherst, organized in 1739. This Samuel Hawley was born 
Feb. 23, 1686; m. Mehitable Belden in 1708, and settled first 
in Hatfield ; thence he removed to East Hadley, which is now 
Amherst. He was the first moderator of the first two annual 
meetings of the Hadley Third Precinct, now Amherst. His 
son, Samuel Hawley, Jr., d. Dec. 15, 1756 ; m. Sarah Field, of 
Amherst, about 1736. He was a soldier in the French and

Hawley joined the Second Church (Congregational) in Amherst; 
nine years later he joined by letter the First Church (Cong.) in 
Amherst. In all of the affairs of the town he was a public- 
spirited and much respected citizen. His wife is a bright, intel- 
ligent woman, of iinusual natural gifts, a model mother, a helper 
in every good work in the church and community, and one who 
by her strong hand and large sympathy makes herself felt on 
the side of truth and righteousness wherever she is.

life successfully. She often visited at my father's house, and she 
always made herself most welcome. She was cheerful and good 
company for us all. She was a woman of high and noble

(Roberts) Hyde. He fitted for college at Willistou Seminary, 
Easthanipton, and entered Amherst College in the autumn of 
1849. After two years spent in college he went to Cincinnati, 
O., and engaged in the lumber business with his uncle, Thomas 
H. Weasner. There he remained until 1866, when he returned 
to Amherst and purchased the Elijah Boltwood farm, which was 
known as one of the best farms in Hampshire Co. This he 
cultivated and improved, residing upon it till his death in 1895. 
He was a man of high principles and sound judgment, a suc- 
cessful man of business and a thrifty farmer, and always took 
a deep interest in all movements looking toward the improve- 
ment of the condition of the town, especially of the farmers. 
He was a leader in the organization of the Amherst Cooperative 
Creamery Association. He was a charter member of the 
Amherst Grange. He served the town of Amherst as select- 
man for one year, and was elected on other occasions, but 
declined to serve. In 1891 he represented the Fourth Hamp- 
shire District in the State Legislature as a republican, and did 
the district and State good service. 

" His strong common sense, business sagacity and firm integ- 
rity, won for him the hearty respect and good will of his fellow- 
citizens, who repeatedly elected him to offices of trust and 
responsibility, many times against his earnest protest. He was 
a natural leader of men, one to whom many were accustomed to 
look for advice aud counsel, and when he spoke in the town- 
meeting his words were received with respectful attention." —

sent his district in the Senate of the State of Ohio. "He was 
an enterprising citizen, a faithful public officer, an honest man

was to preach and teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. His 
upright and generous Christian life was his profession. He 
was a man of large natural gifts and great practical wisdom.

cinnati, O., Aug. 19, 1870. His widow, Olive (Green) Weasner,

courage and self-reliance and great enterprise. She had tact 
and business capacity. When her husband d. in 1837, she was 
left almost destitute, with three small children. But she had 
resources within herself. She opened a boarding-house and 
made a success of it. She had no relatives in the city (Cincin-

made. She was an earnest Christian woman, and always made 
herself felt on the side of whatever was right and good. No

d. in Kankakee, 111., Mar. 21, 1881. She was a member of a 
Baptist Church. He was by occupation a skilled mechanic. 
He d. in Chicago, 111., Dec. 25, 1867. " I cannot tell you a 
great deal about my father, as I was so young when he died. 
He had a good education for those days, and he must have 
loved to study, for after he was married he bought books on 
Chemistry, Philosophy and other kindred subjects. He built 
steam-engines, and was of an inventive turn of mind. When 
the Union Pacific R. R. was completed, making accessible the 
vast western plain, my father was given two or three of the 
first passes issued. He resided in many of the larger cities of 
the middle west and performed important work wherever he 
was. He died in Chicago of small-pox, Dec. 25, 1867, ae. 
33 yrs., 7 ms., 21 ds. 

My mother was left with five children, the youngest only 
six months old. My father left only a few hundred dollars, and 
my mother had a hard struggle. With the money she built a 
house in Kankakee, the rent of which helped her very much. 



52 IfAMlIvY OF TIMOTHY AND EUNICE (ELIvSWORTH) GREEN. 

We had a large yard to our home place, and much fruit on it. 
We .sold some of the fruit. My mother also earned money by 
sewing. She did different things to earn money till she got a 
little ahead, when she went into the millinery business. She 
was in the millinery business in St. Louis, had a store of her 
own, and sold it just before she was married. Each of her 
brothers and sisters had a trade. My mother's father thought 
that each of his children ought to be an expert at some useful 
trade, and they all had good positions in large cities. After 
my mother went into business in Kankakee, her circumstances 
were much improved. Many in this town were very kind 
to my mother. Before my mother's marriage she left the Cath- 
olic Church. That was a bold step for one to take in those 
days, and it caused no little estrangement between her and her 
father's family, which lasted many years. Just before my 
mother went into business in 1873, my grandmother, Olive 
(Green) Weasner, came to visit us. This was the first time we 
had heard of her or seen her since my father's death in 1867. 
At this time she took my brother Storrs and mj'self to Massa- 
chusetts for our education. She .sent us to .school and then to 
college. I was three years in Mt. Holyoke College, but did not 
graduate, as my mother became sick and I came home to care 
for her. A few months after I came home my mother died, 
and I did not return to college. She was in the millinery busi- 
ness up to the time of her death." — Mrs. Olive A. Vanderwater.

III. Clark Green, sou of Timothy Green, Jr., and 
Eunice (Clark) Green; b. in Amherst, Apr. ii, 1776; m. in 
Amherst, Apr. 26, 1798, Submit Hastings ; d. in Amherst, 
Nov. 27, 1848. She was b. in Amherst, May 13, 1777; d. 
there Apr. 12, 1863. Her father was Thomas Hastings, who 
was b. in Amherst, May 20, 1746 ; her mother was Hannah 
Billings, dau. of Deacon John Billings of East Amherst, and 
she was b. in East Amherst, Feb. 15, 1749. 

Dea. John Billings lived on what we call the " Clark 
Green place." The lane in front of his house to the East 
Street was cut through so that he could go to church in East 
Amherst and not go up through the centre of the town. Clark 
Green m. Dea. Billings' grand-daughter, and went and lived on 
the old homestead and took care of his wife's grandfather and 
grandmother and had their home when they died. Dea. 
John Billings d. Aug. 31, 1813. His widow d. July 2, 1829, 
ae. 91 yrs., 11 ms. The last years of her life she forgot that 
John Billings was her husband ; all the latter part of her life 
seemed to be a blank in her memor}^ ; if one spoke to her 
about John Billings she would say : "I knew him when he was 
a young man ; he was a pretty young man." 

Clark Green was a farmer ; a very genial man, full of anec- 
dote and pleasantry, a friend to every one and an honest, upright 
and much-respected citizen. Both he and his wife were con- 
sistent members of the First Church (Congregational) in 
Amherst.. 

"Our father and mother were good parents, kind and 
obliging to their children and neighbors, and seeking to be 
good and do good to all. They were always cheerful and 
trained us children up to be useful and faithful. They did not 
set us an example of ambition in life, or of display, but taught 
us to be self-reliant, honest, sincere, earnest and true in all the 
relations of life. They loved the Bible and the Church, and 
taught us by example and precept to love and fear God. 
Nothing but real illness caused their seats in the house of 
God to be vacant on the Sabbath. They were very kind and 



62 l^AMIIvV OF TIMOTHY AND BUNICE (e;i,I<SWORTh) GREEN. 

devoted to each other. Ours was always a happy home, in 
which sincere and true affection reigned. Father was gifted as 
a conversationalist. He knew how to tell a story and make it 
most effective. He had a touch of wit without any sting in it. 
He was deeply interested in public affairs and always voted ; 
but he never sought office for himself." — Mrs. Sai^ome D. 
Hubbard. 

" Too much cannot be said to emphasize my grandfather's 
and grandmother's Stirling qualities. We needed only to know 
them to admire and love them. We read that the good alone 
are great ; and though this world may sound no trumpet before 
them to herald their coming, the Book of Life will show their 
shining record." — Mrs. Sarah A. Weeks.

and the best of company ; young people liked her. She was 
self-sacrificing, always willing to forego her own happiness if 
thereby she could make others happy. She resided at home 
and cared for her aged father and mother in their declining 
years, as none but a loving daughter can. She tdbk her 
brother's motherless infant daughter and became a mother 
indeed to her. She trained her up into a useful and beautiful 
womanhood. She lived a useful, benevolent, Christian life, 
being a help, a comfort, a blessing to many souls.

" Betsey was born in October 1834 ; her mother died the next 
February. Brother Billings came after Eunice in March to go 
and keep house for him and take care of Betsey. Eunice went 
to Chatham, Mass., and stayed there till June, when she came 
home with her ' baby ' as she called her, and she had the care 
of her as long as she (Eunice) lived." —

was b. in Newport, R. I., Sept. 28, 1798; d. at Stirling, 111.,

Methodist Church. They resided in Ridgeway, N. Y., till

1847 when they moved to Walworth Co., Wis., and soon to 
Wyocena, Wis., where they lived till he died Dec. 22, 1863. 

" My father was a farmer. In his j'ounger days he worked 
in a sawmill. He owned a sawmill when he lived in Orleans 
Co., N. Y. When he went to Leon, Cattaraugus Co., N. Y., 
he bought some land and worked on that in the summer ; in the 
winter for several years he worked in what was known as the 
Buck-tooth Mills on the Alleghany river. My father never 
cared for office. Two or three times he held a town office. He 
was for a time a steward in the Methodist Church in Wyocena. 
He was also school director several years. As to character and 
daily life he was above reproach. He had no enemies. He 
was ' Uncle David ' to every one. He was a very conscientious 
Christian ; his daily life was such as every one might follow. 
He died as he lived in full triumph of the Christian faith. He 
was a good many — William Hewit Green. 

" Mother was a woman of noble character, a Christian 
from her girlhood. She joined the Methodist church when she 
was quite young, and maintained her Christian faith until the 
end. She was a quiet person and her greatest ambition was 
that her children should grow up to be Christian men and 
women. She had the satisfaction of seeing them all members

date of his death, May i6, 1887. There was a plank cabin and 
a small barn on the place when he purchased it. In 1842 he 
erected a good barn ; in 1844 he built the house in which he re- 
sided till his death. 

"Saturday, Oct. 2, 1886, was a fine day, and at the Old 
Homestead, the residence of George B. Green, there was a 
most joyful meeting. The occasion was the celebration of the 
seventy-eighth birthday of Seneca Green, one of the most 
highly respected and dearlj'^ beloved of the pioneers of Portage 
Count5% Ohio. All his children were present, nearly all his 
grandchildren, and his two great grandchildren, both beautiful 
babes, and many of his neighbors and old friends. Father 
Green is a charming old gentleman, full of kindness and gentle- 
ness, respected by all who know him, and beloved by his chil- 
dren and grandchildren to a remarkable degree. 

After an elegant and bountiful dinner, the company assem- 
bled in the large double parlors, which were decorated for the 
occasion. The exercises began by the reading of a psalm and 
the offering of a prayer by their pastor. Rev. R. B. Marsh, after 
which the company united in singing ' Jesus, lover of my soul.' 
Then an original poem was read by Mrs. Anna E. (Green) 
Taylor. This poem is worthy of much praise and should be 
published. It was full of pathos and wit, giving a family his- 
tory as well as paying an eloquent tribute to the memory of the 
sainted mother. After this Rev. Mr. Marsh presented to Father 
Green, in behalf of the children, a costly and beautiful easy 
chair, and, in behalf of the grandchildren, a gold-headed cane. 
He also, in behalf of Father Green, pre.sented to each of his 
six children an envelope containing one hundred dollars. Then 
one of the grandchildren, Mabel Green, the daughter of George 
B. Green, read a beautiful poem in the form of a letter to 
grandpa. It was written by another grandchild, Medie Russell, 
of Hillsdale, Mich. Then Dr. A. M. Sherman sung an appro- 
priate song in his happiest style. 

Father Green has six children, thirteen grandchildren and 
two great grandchildren. In 1836 he moved from Massachu- 
setts to Ohio, traveling to Albany by a team, taking seven days 
to reach Buffalo from Schenectady, and twenty-six hours on the 



CI,ARK GR^EN. — BRANCH. 75 

canal from Buffalo to Cleveland, making what was then consid- 
ered a remarkably quick trip. He located on the farm which 
has been his pleasant and happy home ever since, over fifty 
years. In June, 1877, his wife died, a lady of culture and 
refinement. Her social qualities endeared her to the hearts of all, 
and her domestic virtues were unexcelled, and can be plainly 
seen in the culture and elegance of her daughters and the manly 
and noble bearing of her sons. 

Father Green has great reason to be thankful for the chil- 
dren and descendants that now love and revere him. Better than 
wealth, better than marble monuments, will they perpetuate his 
memory and bless the world. Such noble men as Seneca Green 
are the pride of our nation and the glory of God. His long 
and useful life has left the charm of kindness and love on 
his venerable features. Let me live the life of the righteous 
and let my last days be like his, was the prayer of all who wit- 
nessed this glad and cheering family scene." — Rev. R. B. 
Marsh. 

No children by the first marriage. By the second marriage

" Father's early life was passed on the farm where he was 
born. His education was obtained at the district school and a 
few terms of select school in the village of Franklin. At the 
age of nineteen he left his father's home and commenced work- 
ing for his own home, which he saw in the future. He was a 
natural farmer, and everything seemed to prosper that he under- 
took, for his whole heart was in his work. His crops were the 
finest, his barns were filled with stock and grain, and he made a 
specialty of stock-raising. Being a keen observer, and a good, 
practical farmer, he succeeded in business and built for himself 
a fine home. His advice was often sought by others in business 
matters. From his free and kindly nature he was often involved 
in some sort of a joke, which he keenly relished ; and whether 
it was given or received it was all the same. Father was not a 
member of any church, but was a regular attendant upon pub- 
lic worship on the Sabbath. He was a great reader and had a 
remarkable memory. He held the ofiSce of assessor for a num- 
ber of years. 

Mother lived at her home in Franklin, Portage Co., O., 
until her marriage. She was a member of the Universalist 
Church. She received her education at the select school in 
Franklin, Portage Co., O. Her life was purely a domestic one, 
for she loved her family most dearly and devoted all her ener- 
gies to its comfort and welfare. She was loved by every one for 
her deeds of kindness, and for her sympathizing and amiable 
disposition. She was a fine entertainer, and many are the times 
when her beautiful and happy home was thrown open to her 
friends. She was always happy in making others happy. She 
lived an every day Christian life." — Mrs. Carrie Rosetta 
(Green) Bosworth.

educated in the Public Schools and afterward taught school. 
She is a member of the Universalist Church. He being the 
youngest of a family of six children, the care of the father and 
mother naturally fell to him. On the old farm the son grew to 
years of maturity, working on the farm and attending the dis- 
trict school near by ; after which he took several terms at the 
Kent High School. One by one he witnessed the departure of 
all the other members of the family from the home which the 
father had made in the years of his manly strength. Brothers 
and sisters sought homes for themselves in different places. 

Sixteen years after their marriage, or in 1890, Mrs. Green 
was taken seriously ill, and for a year little hope was enter- 
tained of her recovery. But as the result of tender and loving 
care and skilful surgical treatment, she recovered, and she and 
her husband had twenty-six years in all on the old home- 
stead. During that time they made many improvements in the 
place and surrounded themselves with all the comforts and many 
of the luxuries of life. At the end of this period, in 1900, they 
rented the farm and moved to Kent, O. 

The old homestead is now (1902) known as " Hillside 
Lawn Farm," and is pleasantly located on the road leading 
from Kent to Hudson. In politics Mr. Green was a staunch 
Republican, and served six years as Trustee of Franklin Town- 
ship. Fraternally, he was a Knight of Pythias, being a mem- 
ber of Achilles Lodge, No. 378. He was its presiding officer 
for many terms, and for two terms its representative to the 
Grand Lodge of Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Green were also members 
of the Portage Co. Horticultural Society and the Franklin 
Farmers' Club, he having been President of the Club two years. 
They were widely known through the county and enjoyed the 
esteem and confidence of all. He d. suddenly of apoplexy in 
his house, Sunday a, m., Nov. 23, 1902.

Mu.skego, Wis., in 1836 when he was twenty-five years of age ; 
he moved to Spring Prairie, Wis., in 1864, where he resided till 
his death in 1885. ' As a citizen he was quiet and unassuming ; 
as a friend and neighbor he was held in high esteem ; he was 
not so much a public man as one who loved the quiet freedom 
of his home.' He was a strong Republican in politics. He was 
decided in his Christian character, and gave liberally to the 
church. His industry, his integrity, his kindly spirit and his 
Christian manhood were worthy of emulation. 

My mother was a teacher before her marriage ; was edu- 
cated in the public schools of New York State ; was m. young 
and reared a large family of children. She had a lovely dispo- 
sition and was one of the noblest women that ever lived. She

better by it."— Mrs. Alice Sarah (Greene) DeCouders.

" George C. Hubbard and Salome D. Greene were married, 
June ID, 1840, and went to live with his parents in Wilmington, 
Vt., on one of those bleak northern hillsides. The farm and 
the buildings were very poor. One horse and two cows were as 
much stock as could be kept through the winter. They took for 
their motto : buy only what you need and pay all bills when 
due. 

From that small beginning, by means of untiring energy 
and strict economy and honesty, they added acre after acre, and 
built new buildings, until their home farm was one of the best 
equipped and stocked of any in the vicinit}'. Both were mem- 
bers of the Congregational Church in their town, and they 
observed the Sunday with strict Puritan principles. The bless- 
ing of God was asked on each meal and the family altar was hon- 
ored by daily use. Their children, six in number, three boys 
and three girls, grew up to manhood and womanhood, each one 
an active, working Christian. 



go FAMII.Y OF TIMOTHY AND KUNICE (KLLSWORTH) GRKEN. 

The home life was alwaj'S bright aud cheerful, each striving 
for the happiness of the others, iiutil at the ripe age of eighty- 
three, father was called to cease his labors here and join the 
happy throng above ; while mother is waiting and watching for 
the summons to join him. No children ever had a better father 
or a better mother than we had. We have none but the 
pleasantest recollections of them. They loved their children, 
and I am sure their children loved them and delight to honor 
their memory." — Linus Green Hubbard. 

BEAUTIFUL HANDS. 

" Such beautiful, beautiful hands I 
They're neitlier white nor small ; 
And you, I knt)w, would scarcely think 
Tliat tlicy arc lair at all. 
I've looked on hands whose form and hue 
A sculptor's dream might be; 
Yet are those aged, wrinkled hands 
More beautiful to me. 

Such beautiful, beautiful liands : 
Tho heart were weary and sad, 
Those patient hands kept toiling on. 
That the children might be glad. 
I'm always sad, as, looking back 
To childhood's distant day, 
I think how those hands rested not 
When mine were at their plaj\ 

Such beautiful, beautiful hands ! 

They're growing feeble now; 

For time aud pain have left their mark 

On hands and heart and brow : 

Alas ! alas ! the nearing time. 

And the sad, sad day to me. 

When 'neath the daisies, out of sight, 

These hands will folded be. 

But, O ! beyond this shadow land, 

Where all is bright and fair, 

I know full well these dear old hands 

Will palms of victory bear ; 

Where crystal streams through endless years 

Flow over golden sands, 

And where the old grow young again, 

I'll clasp my mother's hands." —

service in Co. F, i6th Vermont Volunteers ; was mustered into 
the U. S. service, Oct. 23, 1862, and went directly to Washing- 
ton, D. C. ; spent the winter in what was then called the 
defences of Washington. Our work was to build and construct 
forts and rifle-pits. In the spring of 1863 our company was 
transferred to the Army of the Potomac, and we were in the 
battle at Gettysburgh, in the Second Vermont Brigade, under 
Gen. Stannard. The War Records give us a place in the 
repulse of Col. Pickett in his last charge in that battle. We 
had some slight skirmishing as we followed Lee's army back to

children all belong to the arm}^ of the Lord and .serve in the 
ranks of the Baptist Church. I have held the offices of a Dea- 
con and a Trustee in our church. Our business has been market 
gardening, but is now mostly fruit raising. We have set out 
forty acres with small fruits." — Linus Green Hubbard.

He was in the Civil War as a Union soldier. " I served in 
the Civil War as follows : Enlisted Sept. 3, 1862 in Co. F, 16th 
Regiment of Vermont Volunteers to serve nine months. When 
the Co. was organized I was elected First Corporal. We left 
the State Oct. 24, 1862, and arrived in Washington, D. C, Oct, 
27, 1862. We went into camp on Capitol Hill and were assigned 
to the 2d Vermont Brigade, which belonged to the First

Arra)'^ Corps. The only battle our Co. was in was the Battle of 
Gettsyburgli. We were mustered out of the service Aug. lo, 1863, 
our term of service having expired. I reenlisted Jan. 10, 1864 
as musician in the band of the 4th Brigade, Second Division of 
the Sixth Army Corps. I served in that capacity through the 
first campaign of Gen. Grant in Virginia ; was mustered out of 
service Sept. 20, 1864. Owing to the heavy los.ses incurred in 
the battles of The Wilderness, Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor, 
our Division was reorganized and all that was left of the 4th 
Brigade was transferred to the other three, thus leaving our 
baud without a Brigade. Nothing was left us, therefore, but 
to return home. That was my experience in the great Civil War. 
Here in Wilmington, Vt., I have been six years First Con- 
stable and Collector ; have been leader of the Choir of the Con- 
gregational Church for fifteen years ; and leader of the Wilming- 
ton Cornet Band about the same length of time." — Hardy Flagg

hundred acres has a sightly outlook, and supports from thirty to 
thirty-five Durham cattle, including eighteen or twenty cows, 
and a good farm team. It has a fine sugar orchard of twelve 
hundred trees, equipped with well painted buckets and covers, 
and a Bellows Falls Evaporator. The Hubbard place is a typi-

faith, in which she so ardently believed, were exemplified in her 
life in a way which left a deep impress upon all who knew her. 
Her loss will be keenly felt in the Congregational church, where 
she has been a worshipper and a conscientious and faithful mem- 
ber and worker from her childhood. She was active also in all 
the church auxiliaries. She was a member of the church choir, 
and a sweet and accomplished singer. She was a president

" Chester Clark Hubbard was industrious, a good farmer, 
an efficient manager, a faithful and loving husband and father, 
a man who had many friends, and has always been considered 
one of our best and most thrifty citizens. He never loomed as 
a public man, a seeker for office, for he was too much bound up 
in love of home to entertain such aspirations. He was one of 
the very pillars of the Congregational Church, being one of the 
most active, earnest and zealous workers in every department. 
His quiet and helpful influence has been felt by the entire com- 
munity. He was everywhere a man of principle and sterling 
worth, and to his family he was the idol of their love." — The

general blacksmith. She m. (2) Chester Hawley of Hadley 
(Plainville) Dec. — 1827. No children by second marriage. 

" My father was a very kind man. He d. when I was only 
two years and two months old, but I remember that he once put 
me on the horse's back and let me ride the horse from the stable 
to the wagon shed. My aunt Eucina Rice told me that on his 
dying bed my father put his hand on my head and offered a 
prayer, which has always been to me a precious fact to know 
and remember. He joined the First Congregational Church in 
Amherst, Mar. 9, 1806. He is still remembered in North 
Amherst as a man who did honest and good work, and as an 
exemplary citizen." — Silas Ayres- 

" I was forty years old when my mother died. She joined 
the First Congregational Church in Amhenst, July 7, 1805. She 
was not only a member of the church but a regular attendant 
also. As to her character, I may well say that it is expressed 
by " the virtuous woman " described in the thirty-first chapter 
of the Book of Proverbs. Most that is said there of "the virtu- 
ous woman'' can be said of my mother. Her memory is a price- 
less legacy to me. If I remember correctly her marriage to 
father Hawley occurred in December, 1827, a little before I was 
eight years old." — Silas Ayres.

1848. 

" At my earliest recollection of my sister Sarah she was a 
church member. For several years before her marriage she was 
a school teacher, both in North Amherst and North Hadley. 
Jonathan Cowles of North Amherst said, ' her school is as good 
as an Academy, if not better.' Levi Stockbridge, who was one 
of her pupils in North Hadley, said, ' she was strict in her dis- 
cipline, and made us learn, both old and young." — Silas Ayres.

Josiah Ayres and Catharine Strickland had no children. 
In early life he was a farmer and broom manufacturer. He 
fitted for college ; but did not go for lack of pecuniary means to 
carry him through. He taught winter schools in his early man- 
hood. The writer of these pages was a pupil of his in "the old 
red school house " two winters. The scholars liked him much 
and he did us good. There was a frankness and manliness 
about him which I remember with pleasure. For many years 
he filled with great success the ofl&ce of janitor in Amherst 
College. He was always straight and square, yet popular with 
the students. He was for many years Deacon, and Superin- 
tendent of the Sunday School, in the First Church (Congrega- 
tional) in Amherst. He was my teacher ten years in that Sun- 
day School, and helped his class by his words and life. In 1853 
and 1855 he was one of the Board of Selectmen of the town of 
Amherst. In i860 he represented the town of Amherst in the 
General Court.

They d. the same day and were buried side by side in the same 
grave. She was a school teacher before her marriage. By oc- 
cupation he was a farmer. He was universally esteemed and 
respected. In his disposition he was retiring ; in his business 
upright and honest ; in his life and conduct a gentleman. Both 
himself and wife were consistant members of the First Church 
(Congregational) in Amherst. " They were lovely and pleasant 
in their lives, and in their death they were not divided."

" Of brother Baxter's death I will say, that during the win- 
ter in which he d. he was living with Levi Hawley, doing chores 
for his board and going to school. The custom then was that 
on every other Saturday there was no school, instead of school 
half of the day each Saturday. This was better for the boys

who wanted to work. A whole day was better than two half 
days. To secure the benefit of his day's labor he was given the 
choice of driving the team or of chopping. He chose to drive 
the team, thinking he would be less likely to freeze. Early in 
the forenoon he felt severely cold, but soon he thought nothing 
of it ; but at night when he took off his boots he found his feet 
badly frozen. A few days after all the toes on one foot were 
amputated. A short time after lockjaw set in, from which he 
soon died. He was considered an enterprising and promising- 
young man, and his death was lamented by all who knew 
him." — Silas Ayres.

and his second wife were much esteemed members of the Con- 
gregational church in Byron, 111. He was one of the original 
members of that church. He was also a charter member, in 
the Byron Lodge, of the Free and Accepted Masons." 

By m. (i) he had one child which d. at birth. By m. (2)

Hawley, sister of his first wife. She was b. in Hadley, Sept. 
1,1809; d. in Geneva, Neb., Apr. 13, 1889. No children by 
the second marriage. 

" Your aunt Eliza, the mother of my children, was a most 
affectionate wife and a true mother to her children. She never 
spared herself ; but was always trying to do something for 
others. She was a Christian though she had not at her death 
joined the church. 

Your aunt Lois had nursed her mother during her last 
sickness and also her sister Anne. She was completely worn 
out after their death and came to our house to die, as all her 
relations supposed. She was very weak and helpless. When 
her sister Eliza died and left five small children, their aunt Lois 
began to care for them and give directions about the housework 
from her sick bed. She began to improve in health. Her mind 
was occupied with things that interested her, and in a few 
weeks she was off the bed and began to work. When I decided 
to go west she went with us. Soon after we arrived in the west 
we were married, and she was always a true friend and mother 
to the children and a great help and comfort to me. She was a 
ministering angel to me and mine when I was sick in Byron,

and two of ray children died. She was a member of the church, 
and loved to read the Bible and attend the services of the Lord's 
house. I know of nothing more appropriate to her life than 
Matt. 25 : 34-40." — Silas Ajaes. 

By occupation Silas Ayres is a farmer. He moved from 
Hadley to Byron, 111., in Nov. 1856. He res. in Byron, 111., a 
little more than three years, when he moved to Polo, 111., and 
res. there over twenty years. In Nov. 1880 he moved from 
Polo, 111., to Geneva, Neb., where he has res. till the present 
(1901). While living in Geneva he first attended the Presby- 
terian church in Fairmont and was an elder in that church 
eight years. When the R.R. was built through Geneva his 
business turned to that town, and his church membership was 
transferred to the Congregational church in Geneva. He has 
now been a Deacon in that church about five years. He was 
an examiner of schools in Hadley, Mass., one year; in Polo, 
111., three years. His wife Lois united with the Cong. Church 
in North Hadley, and was always a member with her husband 
in the west till her death in 1889. He res. (1901) with his son, 
D wight Baxter, in Geneva, Neb.

The following is the Military Record of Dwight Baxter 
Ayres, the oldest child of Dea. Silas Ayres. It is given in his 
language : 

" I enlisted at Polo, 111., Aug. 15, 1862, and was discharged 
and paid off July 8, 1865, having been in nineteen battles 
besides numerous skirmishes. I enlisted in Co. E 92nd Regt. 
of 111. Vol. We entered the land of Dixie at Covington, Ky., 
shortly after our enlistment. We joined the Army of the 
Cumberland ; and I was in the following battles : — Battle of 
Franklin ; Spring Hill ; Triune, and on the Shelbyville. After 
that came the campaign of TuUahoma and Winchester, lying 
north of the Cumberland Mountains, which was a hard fought 
campaign. Then came the campaign of the Cumberland 
Mountains to Chattanooga, with much skirmishing in the 
mountains. Then came the battle of Harrison's lyanding ; 
shortly after this Chattanooga was evacuated, and my Regt., 



no FAMILY OF TIMOTHY AND EUNICE (ELLSWORTH) GREEN. 

the 92nd 111., has the credit and honor of raising the first Federal 
flag in Chattanooga, on the Crotchfield House, myself being the 
third man to climb to the top of the house. 

Directly after the fall of Chattanooga came the battles of 
Ringgold, Ga., Powder Springs and Chickamauga. After this 
came the famous battle of Joe Hooker above the clouds. 
During this battle and that of Mi-ssionary Ridge and the second 
battle of Ringgold I was Orderly for Gen. Joe Hooker and Gen. 
Craft, it being ni)^ duty to carry during the battles dispatches to 
different parts of the battlefields. Then came the Atlantic 
campaign ; the battles of Resaca, Snake Creek, Adairsville, 
Kingston, Peachtree Creek, Tunnel Hill, West Point, and 
Janesboro with Gen. Kilpatrick. Then came the battle of 
Atlanta, Ga., where I received a saddle wound from which I 
have never recovered nor ever shall ; on account of which I am 
drawing a pension of fourteen dollars a month from the U. S. 
government. 

I left Atlanta on the last hospital train for the north when 
Gen. Sherman was preparing for his march to the sea. In 
January, 1865, I had so far recovered from my wounds that I 
rejoined my Regiment near Goldsborough, N. C, and helped 
to take Raleigh, N. C. ; and was in the last fight that my Regt. 
was in. i.e., at Bentonville, N. C, when Gen. Joe Johnston 
surrendered, Apr. 26, 1865. One thing I have omitted in giving 
this brief history, and that is, that though we enlisted as 
Infantry in 1862, in July 1863 we were mounted and put into 
the Cavalry branch of the army, and armed with a Spencer 
carbine, a gun which would hold eight loads at once." — Dwiglit 
Baxter Ayres.

SYBIL. GREEN.— BRANCH. 

Sybil Green, dau. of Timothy Green, Jr., and Sybil (Hast- 
ings) Green; b. in Amherst, Aug. 9, 1783; m. May 8, 1805, 
Elijah Clark of Amherst ; he was b. in Amherst, May 20, 1783, 
and res. there till 1827, when he moved with his family to 
Marion, N. Y., where he d. Oct. 13, 1833. She d. in Beloit, 
Wis., Oct. 6, 1868. 

" Our father lost his property when I was a baby. He 
was discouraged, and many desired to take some of the children 
to bring up and educate. ' No ! indeed, I will work my fingers 
to the bone and go a thousand miles to the west before our 
children shall be separated. We will bring them up and teach 
them to help and love one another.' Such were the words of 
our blessed mother, who tried in every way to have us do right 
because it is right. She was exceedingly anxious that her 
children should have a good education ; and our minister said 
of her, 'Her children owe her a debt of gratitude as big as 
the Andes.' Do you wonder we love and honor her?" — Mrs. 
Mary Ann Helm. 

" In Amherst my father carried on the wagon business, 
also that of a miller ; but when in 1827 we came from Amherst 
to Marion, N. Y., he was more particularly engaged in farming. 
His children, seven boys and two girls, were all born in 
Amherst, Mass. He resided in Marion, N. Y., six years and 
was a deacon in the Congregational church there. All the 
children, except Lucretia and Joseph Barnard, both of whom 
died quite young, have been teachers in the public schools. 
Mother was a good mother, and did her part in bringing up the 
children. Asahel and Elijah held the ofiice of school inspector 
for some years in Marion, N. Y. Asahel, Eucius, Elijah and 
Dexter were physicians, having received the degree of M. D., 
and they practiced their profession many years, first in New 
York, than in Illinois and Wisconsin. They were all members 
of the Presbyterian or Congregational Church, and Asahel and 
Elijah were members of the session. Elijah was superintendent 
of the Sunday School many years. Mother was truly a help- 
meet to her husband. At the time of the building of Amherst 
College (c. 1820), although mother did not work on the build-

ings and grounds, as father did, she boarded, i.e. furnished 
dinners, for the workmen, a hundred at a time." — Dr. Elijah 
Nelson Clark. 

" Asahel, Lucius, Elijah, Dexter and Marj^ moved from 
Marion, N. Y., before their mother went. Asahel went back 
to Marion and brought mother out, before brother Rufus's 
family came." — Mrs. Mary Ann Helm.

31, 1831, Caroline Clarissa Cogswell of Marion, N. Y. He m. 
(2) Mrs. Mary Gorton of Detroit, Mich., Dec. 18, 1876. His 
first wife was b. in Canada, Apr. i, 1808; she d. at Beaver 
Dam, Wis., May 7, 1875. He d. in Evauston, 111., Oct. 13, 
1888. He entered Amherst College in autumn of 1824; left 
college at the end of the year and went to Marion, N. Y. 

His second wife's full name was Mary E. (Kane) Gorton, 
dau. of Prof. Kane in Detroit Medical College. She m. Dr. 
Gorton of Detroit for her first husband, and Dr. Asahel Clark 
was her second husband. 

"Dr. Asahel Clark will be remembered as a prominent 
character in the early history of Beloit, Wis. He was b. in 
Amherst, Mass., in 1809; graduated M. D. at Geneva Medi- 
cal College, N. Y. in 1839 ; practiced medicine five years in 



SYBIL GREEN. — BRANCH. 113 

Bellona, Yates County, N. Y., and came to Beloit in 1844 and 
practiced medicine in Beloit and Beaver Dam, Wis. He was 
thought to resemble in his appearance George Washington. 
Though rather grave and dignified he was ever gentle, loving 
and true. He was an earnest Christian and one of the founders 
of the First Presbyterian Church in Beloit. His Christianity was 
of the quiet yet practical kind, and he was ever ready to extend 
a helping hand to those in trouble. His life exemplified in a 
marked degree the apostle's definition of religion : ' Pure 
religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to 
visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep 
himself unspotted from the world.' 

His life was singularly pure, and for many years he has 
been stepping heavenward grandly and trustingly. The life 
and example of such a noble Christian man can but be for good 
to all. A memorial window in the First Presbyterian Church 
in Beloit, inscribed: 'Dr. Asahel Clark, a True Elder', is 
commemorative of his good works." — Beloit News. 

" Caroline Clarissa (Cogswell) Clark was born in Canada, 
Apr. I, 1808. When she was a child her parents removed to 
Vermont ; and a little later to western New York. At the age 
of eighteen she became a Christian and united with the Con- 
gregational Church in Marion, Wayne Co., N. Y. She was 
married March 31, 1831, to Dr. Asahel Clark, then a member of 
the same church. Their married life was a little more than 
forty-four years. They were blessed with two children — a son 
and a daughter. These children, as soon as they were old 
enough, went regularly to church with their mother, and both 
became Christians and members of the church in their youth. 
Mrs. Clark was an active member of the benevolent .societies of 
the church wherever she resided. She was, too, a heartj?^ 
worker in behalf of the soldiers of the Civil War. But it was 
in her home that her character had its fullest and sweetest illus- 
tration. She was eminently domestic ; and here as nowhere 
else appeared as .she was — the light and delight of others. In 
her life she shed light and cheer all about her, when calmly 
and sweetly .she fell asleep ; and thus a real Christian woman, 
a true mother in Israel, went to her reward." — Mrs. H, A. Clark.

and Miranda (Waterman) Redfield, was b. at West Greenfield, 
Saratoga Count}', N. Y., Dec. 9, 1832. My father's health 
having failed so that he was unable to preach, the family 
removed to Phelps, N. Y., in 1840, remained there about two 
years, and then removed to Delhi, Deievan Co., N. Y,, which 
was my father's native county, and where most of his brothers 
and sisters were then living. While there I attended first the 
district school and later the Delhi Academy. In 1847 I left my 
home and went back to Phelps, N. Y., where I was employed 
as a clerk in the hardware store of my mother's brother, Aaron 
Pratt Waterman. In 1848 ray father moved back to Phelps, 
N. Y., with the rest of the family, and my father died there 
Sept. 18, 1850. 

About Oct. ist, 1850, I went to Beloit, Wis., and was 
employed in the hardware .store of another brother of my 
mother, Henry Delavan Waterman. About three years later 
I went to New York City and was employed as salesman in a 
wholesale hardware store until the autumn of 1854, when I went 
to Beaver Dam, Dodge Co., Wis., and with my future brother- 
in-law, Lucius Beman Clark, started a hardware store. Sept, 
17, 1855, I was, at Beloit, Wis., married to Harriet Arloa 
Clark, only daughter of Dr. Asahel and Caroline Coggswell 
Clark of Beloit. In 1856 we built a house at Beaver Dam, Wis., 
in which we res. until April 1877 when we removed to Evanston, 
111., and res. there until April, 1895, when we broke up house- 
keeping and went to board with, my oldest daughter, Mrs. W. 
J. Andrews, at Berwyn, 111. There my dear wife died Oct. 26, 
1897, and there I have my suite of rooms which I occupy about 
half of my time, the other half being spent in Evanston with my 
daughters Nellie and Bes.sie, where I always have a room at 
my service. Our children were all born in the house at Beaver 
Dam. I held the office of Alderman in the city of Beaver Dam 
for one term ; also the ofiice of Ruling Elder in the Presbyterian 
Church at Berwyn for several years. I resigned the Ruling 
Eldership in 1901, for the reason that I spent most of my 
Sundays in Evanston. 



Il6 lfAMII,Y OF TIMOTHY AND EUNICE (ELI,SW0RTH) GREEN. 

I have never ceased congratulating myself that I was per- 
mitted to have the best woman on this earth for my wife and 
companion for more than forty-two years ; and my greatest joy 
and comfort now is the hope that I am soon to join her, never 
more to be separated. I knew her intimately for five years 
previous to our marriage and we lived together as husband and 
wife forty-two years, and during all that time I never knew 
of her having an unkind thought, speaking a harsh or angry 
word, or doing a wrong deed. I believe each one of our six 
children thank God every day of their lives that she was their 
mother." — George Elliott Redfield. They were both members 
of the Presbyterian Church.

The following is from the Rockford Register of Nov. 6, 1878 : 
"Dr. lyucius Clark pursued his medical studies at Berkshire 
Medical College, Mass., and at Geneva Medical College, N. Y. 
He was the first to receive a diploma from the latter College. 
He practised his profession in Western New York for ten years, 
at Marion, Palmj'ra and Chili. In 1845 he moved to Illinois 
and settled in Rockford, then a small and growing town, and 
was in the active work of his profession till his death. He was 
a member of the American Medical Association, and of the 
Illinois State Medical Society. During the Civil War he was 
in the field a short time as President of the Board of Examining 
Surgeons for the State of 111. He was a Trustee of the Rock- 
ford Female Seminary from its organization. 

Dr. Clark with his laborious and exacting profession com- 
bined a wide and all-absorbing mental activit5^ His interest in 
and practical knowledge of men and things, knowledge gathered 



SYBII, GREEN.— BRANCH. 121 

from all sources as the bee gathers honey from all fields, was 
very marked. He practically adopted the old Roman maxim : 
' I am a man ; and nothing human is foreign to me.' 

Prominent among his characteristics were his social gifts. 
Wherever he might be, in whatever circumstances or company, 
his social nature overflowed, and infected all other natures. 
He possessed a rare talent for society, and he carried with him- 
self a genial warmth that melted at once all ice of reserve, 
removed all walls of formality and exclusiveness, and established 
a mutual good fellowship. It followed, of course, that his 
social relations were widely extended, co-extensive even with 
his very large practice, and equalled only by those enjoyed by 
the pastor. 

His domestic relations were of the happiest and most 
delightful character. Few homes have gathered within them 
and around them so much of love, peace and beauty as reigned 
in his. Hospitality, free and constant, was one of its conspic- 
uous graces ; and children always young and always happy 
have helped to keep their elders fresh and sweet and joyous. 

The religious character of Dr. Clark harmonized well with 
his natural disposition and with the overflowing tendencies of 
his soul. No one who knev/ him could doubt the depth and 
reality of his piety and the sincerity and genuineness of his 
religious profession. His benefactions were not limited to the 
stock claims and objects of Christian benevolence, but were 
often too private to be known except by the receiver. The 
professional services rendered to the poor and those from whom 
he expected and would receive no compensation were as assid- 
uous and faithful as those which were most largely paid, and 
they would if recompensed according to their value have almost 
supported a younger physician. The true wealth of a town or 
city is its good and worthy citizens, and the most enduring 
power is the influence they exert and leave behind them. Many 
are the treasures of this kind which Rockford has possessed 
and lost ; but the power of their names and influence still 
remains to bless and make illustrious our beloved city. Among 
these none will be longer or more kindly remembered than Dr. 
Lucius Clark ' the beloved physician'."

Mar. 10, 1846, Sarah Jane Moore, who was b. in Bedford, N.

From an obituary in the Rockford, 111., Register, the fol- 
lowing is taken : " Dr. Dexter Gaylord Clark, when about 
eight years of age, moved with his father's family to Marion, 
Wayne Co., N. Y., where his father in 1833 died. Afterward 
the family removed to Wisconsin, and in the year 1846, when 
he was twenty-seven years old. Dr. Dexter G. Clark com- 
menced the practice of medicine in Summerville, Wis. He 
remained there two years when he removed to Rockford, 
111., and established himself in his profession and contin-

ued its practice here till the spring of 1850, when he left for 
California. During his brief practice in his profession here his 
kindly qualities as a man and his success as a physician 
endeared him to many households, who hav^e never ceased to 
remember with affection his cheerful, kind and sympathetic 
deportment in the hour of sickness and bereavement. In 1853 
he returned from California to this city, where his family had 
continued to reside during his absence. Since his return he 
had been engaged in the banking business here as a member 
of the firm of Spofford, Clark and Ellis, and their successors, 
Spofford, Clark & Co. The general gloom and sadness which 
overspread this community on the announcement of his death 
and the immense crowd attending his funeral and following his 
remains to their last resting place attest the esteem in which he 
was held in the community. As a business man he was prompt 
and energetic, yet always courteous and affable. As a member 
of society he was ever ready to give his cooperation and assist- 
ance to every enterprise which had for its object the welfare of 
the community. The Public Schools and the Seminary of this 
city will long feel the loss they have sustained in the death of 
a warm friend and generous supporter. 

For six years previous to his death he had been the Super- 
intendent of the Sunday School in the Second Congregational 
Church to which he belonged, and to which he gave his best 
energies and most earnest efforts. It was a sad though inter- 
esting coincidence that his funeral occurred on the day of the 
anniversary of the school. The sadness and tears of a school 
of more than two hundred and fifty members at the anniversary 
exercises of that day, told eloquently and forcibly how strong 
was the bond that had bound even the little ones to him. Res- 
olutions were adopted by the Y. M. C. A. of this city expressive 
of its sense of the loss that had come to them in the death of 
Dr. Clark, and of the estimation in which he was held by its 
members. At the Sunday School Convention held in Chicago, 
resolutions relating to the death of Dr. Clark were unani- 
mously passed and ordered to be entered upon the Minutes of 
the Convention."

" My dear brother, Joseph Barnard Clark, was the seventh 
son and nearest my own age, and in our childhood they play- 
fully called us 'grandfather and grandmother,' because we 
were so much together and were so fond of each other. He 
was intending to be a physician, and was working to get money 
to help his brother Elijah through College, and then Elijah 
was going to help him through. He went South two winters, 
thinking he could earn more there and accomplish his object 
quicker. I remember well the first spring he returned from 
Georgia, successful ; and how happy and proud we were. 
Then (I can hardly write it now) he returned to the South the 
next year, and brother Dexter went with him. The next 
spring they started for our home, then in Marion, N. Y. 
Brother Barnard was very seasick, and he had an attack of 
cholera morbus, and there was no good physician on board the 
ship. On reaching New York City brother Dexter took him to 
a family who had once been patients of brother Lucius and 
had known sorrow. Everything was done for him there, but 
he lived only eighteen hours. Oh ! if he could have had help 
on the boat ! We were looking for them daily, when he was 
brought home ! Joseph Barnard had the most genuine wit of 
any of our family, and he had a heart brimful of love and kind- 
ness." — Mrs. Mary A. Helm.

Mar. 19, 1870. In occupation he was a plow-manufacturer; 
he was three years county superintendent of schools ; three 
years Elder in the Presbyterian Church ; as a citizen _he was 
always public spirited and progressive ; in the church and Sun- 
day School he took an active part. He loved children and 
young people, and was helpful to them. " To know him was 
to love him," was often said of him. "It was as a husband 
and a father that his character shone the brightest." She d. 
in Beloit, Wis., Oct. 5, 1902. 

" My mother was one of the sunny, helpful Christians who 
see something good in every one and was loth to believe any 
thing bad. Her heart did not grow old, and she enjoyed the 
society of children and those in middle life just as well as that 
of friends of her own age. She never was so happy as when 
helping some one up, and she has left a host of grateful, loving 
friends, who are better and happier because of her influence and 
example." — Arthur Clinton Helm. 

It was my good fortune, in 1889, to see Mrs. Mary Ann 
(Clark) Helm in Beloit, both in her own home and in the home 
of her brother. Dr. Elijah Nelson Clark. Also I received many 
letters from her while writing this book. She gave me much 
information about her mother's family. She was a woman of a 
clear and strong mind and of a large and loving heart. Benev- 
olence was the ruling principle in her soul and life. She loved 
ever)'- person and everything that was good. " An Israelite 
indeed, in whom was no guile." She was a whole-souled and 
most devoted disciple of Jesus. She loved the Church and 
labored assiduously for it. She loved the whole world and 
prayed for its conversion to God. She was an ardent friend of 
education and spared no pains or expense to educate her child- 
ren. On the earth she was one of God's good and noble women, 
and in heaven she shines as a star in the crown of the Savior 
whom she loved and served so long and so well.

(Hastings) Green; b. in Amherst, Dec. 10, 1788; m. in 
Amherst, Oct. 30, 1809, Philomela Clark, dau. of Simeon Clark 
of Amherst. He d. in Toledo, O., Feb. 27, 1873, ae. 84 yrs. 
She was b. in Amherst (Mill Valley) Sept. 12, 1787; d. in 
Sylvania, O., Oct. 26, 1837, ae. 50 ^-rs. In Amherst, Joel 
Green lived on the old Timothy Green homestead and took 
care of his father and mother. In the spring of 1809 he 
moved off the old frame-house in which his grandfather, Timothy 
Green, Sr., and his grandmother, Eunice Ellsworth Green, had 
lived and died ; and in which, also, his father, Timothy Green, 
Jr., had lived and all his twelve children had been born. Joel 
Green then built on the old site a new house, made of bricks 
manufactured and burnt on the paternal farm. In October, 
1809, Joel Green married and brought his wife into the new 
house. His father then was almost sixty-two years old ; his 
mother was fifty-six. His mother d. in the new house, April 
13, 1819, ae. 66 yrs; his father d. there Sept. 17, 1821. 
All of Joel Green's nine children were b. in the new house. 
He was a very kind and obliging man. In 1827, having 
become financially embarrassed by having to pay notes which, 
as an accommodation, he had signed for friends, he sold 
the old Timothy Green homestead, in Amherst, and moved 
his family to Marion, O., where land was cheaper, and bought 
a farm there. In 1834 he moved from Marion, N. Y., to Syl- 
vania, O., and bought a farm about one mile north of Sylva- 
nia, on which he lived until the spring of 1857, when he broke 
up housekeeping, sold his farm, and lived the rest of his life 
with his children. At the time of breaking up his home he 
was almost sixty-nine years old. His dau., Irene, had kept his 
house from the death of his wife in 1837 till the spring of 1857, 
one year after her marriage. Then she and her husband, Mr. 
Miner, moved to his farm, about a mile south of the town of 
Sylvania, and Joel Green sold his farm north of Sylvania, and 
made his home with his children the rest of his life.

" Both grandfather and aunt Irene (Mrs. Miner) were 
members of the Presbyterian Church, which is now called the 
Congregational. They always attended church and always had 
family worship morning and evening, and blessings at the 
meals. How well do I remember grandfather's words of thanks 
' for the food now spread before us, that it may strengthen our 
weak and decaying natures.' I do not remember that grand- 
father read books other than the Bible much. He did read 
newspapers, and when he found anything good or interesting he 
used to read it aloud to Irene and to all of us who were present. 
He d. at his daughter Sibel's (Mrs. Whitney) house in Toledo, 
O., Feb. 27, 1873, ae. 84 yrs., 2 ms., 17 days."— Charles Horace 
Green. 

" I think my grandfather's life was a very happy one, though 
he never married again. His youngest daughter kept house 
for him till she married. She lived only a few months after 
her marriage. Then grandfather always passed his summers 
in Wisconsin and his winters in Ohio. In Wisconsin he spent 
the nights and took his breakfasts at Uncle Ellsworth's ; the 
rest of the day he .spent at Uncle Frederick's. While in Ohio 
he spent one month in Sylvania with his son Joel, and the next 
in Toledo with his daughter Sibel, my mother. Every one 
looked forward to his coming with much pleasure. 

Grandfather, grandmother, my mother and Uncle Simeon 
were all charter members of the Congregational Church in Syl- 
vania, O." — Mary P. Whitney.

" My father took his degree of M.D. from Geneva Medical 
College, Geneva, N. Y. He held the highest office in the 
I.O.O.F. at his death. His death was caused by the cholera, 
which prevailed in this region at that time. He was a man 
highly rCvSpected by all who knew him. He was very active in 
working for the public good. He stood high in his profession, 
and as a citizen and friend he was much beloved, and his early 
death was mourned by all. Although he was not a member of 
the church, he was much interested in its welfare. He led the 
church choir and freely gave for the support of religious serv- 
ices. He was truly beloved as a skilful ph5'sician, a true friend, 
and a good and noble man." — Charles Horace Green. 

" Mother, before her marriage, taught school in what is 
now called West Toledo. She and father were married in 1840. 
They were very happy in their nine years of wedded life ; but the 
dread scourge of cholera in 1849, so well remembered by peo- 
ple living then in Toledo and vicinity, took from the home the 
beloved husband and affectionate father, leaving her to fight 
life's battle alone, with three small children looking to her for 
care and support. Most bravely did she take up the burden 
and work for those she loved. 

" Her health was poor, but she opened a select school in her 
home that she might keep her children together, and success 
attended her efforts. When her children were old enough to 
attend the public schools, she took up a business which she had 
learned in her girlhood days — millinery and dressmaking — 
which she found to be less confining than teaching. The busi- 
ness in those days was very different from what it is now, but 



JOEt GRBElf.— BRANCH. I4I 

she managed to do it for the village of Sylvauia and the sur- 
rounding country. 

" I often think with sadness of the change it must have 
been to her, from the wife of a prominent physician, surrounded 
by all the pleasures of life, with ample means, and she and father 
the favorites in society. But our mother was equal to the task, 
great as it was. We children were alwaj'S in the Sabbath 
school, where she was a teacher. I well remember the Sab- 
bath morning when she presented us for baptism, and my 
brother's name was changed from Charles Ellsworth to Charles 
Horace. 

" Mother was a fine needle-woman, and left to her daugh- 
ters choice specimens of her handiwork. She was educated and 
refined. Her superior executive ability placed her in high 
office in the church, in which she was a member. Also she was 
active in the temperance work of the village. Largely through 
her influence a lodge of the Daughters of Temperance was 
formed in Sylvania, and she was the recording secretary, many 
of the records of which lodge we now have, and they show her 
excellent work. 

" We, her children, are proud of our mother. Notwith- 
standing the many trials and discouragements that came into 
our young lives, we had a happy home, for there was love in it, 
deep and strong. Mother was a most interesting talker, so that 
many hours that otherwise would have been lonely for us chil- 
dren were made pleasant by her interesting and companionable 
company. 

" We had much to be thankful for that Grandfather Green 
never forgot us. He was a comfort and help to us in many 
ways. But we had our special friend in mother's brother, our 
' Uncle Ephraim.' How we looked for his coming ! What a 
burden it must have lifted from our dear mother's heart ! 
His semi-annual visits were like the coming of the old Santa 
Claus in person. He would go to the village store and send 
back quantities of provisions, and mother's pocket-book was 
fatter than before his coming. He always left a substantial

" Mother lived to see all her children married and living 
near her. Her last j'ears were spent in her own home with her 
younger daughter. She was free from care, had plenty to make 
her old age comfortable, and was surrounded by her loving 
children. Her spirit passed from earth at the dawn of the year 
1891. Her children rise up and call her blessed. Truly for 
her at eventide it was light." — Mary E.stella (Green) Randall.

in faith, generous and social in his nature, and always cheerful, 
even in long seasons of painful illness. Mother was a woman 
of intense affection for her friends ; and she also had great 
interest in every one she met. I would saj' hopefulness and 
sociability were two of her strong characteristics. These made 
her a comfort and joy to every one in her home and church ; 
and while delighting in the memories of the past, her bright 
anticipations of the future took away all the sadness and infelici- 
ties of old age." — Mary P. Whitney.

in Janesville, Wis., Apr. 22, 1895. He lived with his parents 
in Amherst, on the old Timothy Green homestead, till they 
moved West in 1827. When he was fourteen years old he was 
sent out, as all New England and New York boys then were, 
to learn a trade. He chose the carpenter's trade. He became 
proficient in his business and built several houses in Sylvania, 
O. While finishing a building that was to be used as a store 
he was given the opportunity of going into partnership with 
the merchant for whom the building was erected. He 
accepted the offer, and thus began the mercantile career 
which he followed all the rest of his active life. From Syl- 
vania, O., he went to Jackson, Mich., and formed a partner- 
ship with Abraham Jessup, brother of her whom he afterward 
married. When this partnership was formed he had not seen 
her who was to be for fifty-five years his companion and 
beloved wife. From Jackson, Mich., he settled in Rochester, 
Wis., and engaged in several enterprises, not all of which 
were wholly satisfactory. He then, in 1848, settled in Fulton, 
Wis., where he remained till he retired from business in 
1875. He, by his integrity in business and by his Christian 
character, won the confidence and love of all who knew him. 
He is a member of the Congregational Church, and held for 
many years the office of Deacon and Trustee in the Church. 
In politics he was first a Whig, then a Republican. He has 
always been fond of his home, and a model husband and a most 
kind and affectionate father. He res. (1903) in Janesville, Wis.

"My mother, Celinda Jane (Jessup) Green, wash, in New- 
ark, N. Y. She was a first cousin of Henry Jessup, the mission- 
ary in Turkey. She spent her early girlhood in the family of 
an older sister, her father and mother having died when she was 
a small child. She had an unusually bright, active and well 
furnished mind, though she received no higher education than 
the public schools and a private seminary gave. Her love of 
learning and her wide range of reading made her a very well 
informed and attractive woman. She was especially gifted in 
her power to impart knowledge to others. She was hospitable, 
kind to the poor, and sympathetic with the afflicted. In this 
way she drew about her a large circle of true friends. She was 
a member of the Congregational Church, and always active in 
church and charitable work. Her last years were full of suffer- 
ing, but it was borne with such patience and unselfishness that 
when she passed away only sweet remembrances remain for 
those whom she left. My father and mother always resided in 
small towns, so that their work was done for a few ; but they 
were always foremost in everything that pertained to the mate- 
rial welfare and the moral and spiritual uplifting of the com- 
munity in which they lived." — Adda Irene(Green) Sutherland.

IX. Rufus Greene, son of Timothj^ Green, Jr., and Sybil 
(Hastings) Green ; b. in Amherst, Sept. 8, 1790; m. in Am- 
herst, Jan. 17, 1813, Mary Sheldon Boltwood, dau. of William 
and Eunice (Noble) Boltwood of Amherst ; he d. in Carroll, N. 
Y., Jan. 26, 186S, ae. 77 yrs. She was b. in Amherst, Feb. 
20, 1794 ; d. in Springville, Erie Co., N. Y., Nov. 2, 1878, ae. 
84 ys. He res. in Amherst until May, 181 7, when he 
moved to Wilmington, Vt. ; thence in June, 1827, he moved to 
Carroll, Chautauqua Co., N. Y. In 1841 he moved to Hanover 
in the same county, but returned in 1845 to Carroll where he 
spent the rest of his life. 

"Rufus Greene was by occupation a farmer. While he 
res. in Vermont he held the office of county sheriff ; in New 
York he was justice of the peace and commissioner of highways. 
He was an active member of the Universalist Church in Carroll, 
N. Y., and for many years a Trustee of that Church. While 
residing in Vermont he joined that church, and was ever after 
a zealous and consistent Christian. His family joined the 
same church with him. He had a strong and logical mind, was 
a close reasoner, and had a command of language sufficient to 
make himself clearly understood. He was honorable and up- 
right in all his dealings, kind and generous to the weak and 
needy, and always an influential citizen. 

" Of my mother, Mary Sheldon (Boltwood) Greene, I can 
think of nothing more appropriate than the words in Prov. 31 ; 
25-28, ' Strength and honor are her clothing ; and she shall 
rejoice in time to come. 

She openeth her mouth with wisdom ; and in her tongue is 
the law of kindness. 

She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth 
not of the bread of idleness. 

Her children arise up, and call her blessed ; her husband 
also, and he praiseth her.' "—Rufus Greene, Jr. 

" Dear Dr. Greene : Your father's impressions of my grand- 
father, Rufus Greene, Sr., were true, corroborated by his whole 
life, and by the judgment and estimate of all who knew him. 



IS8 FAMILY OF TIMOTHV AND EUNICE (Etl^SWORTH) GREEN. 

To the least disceruiug he gave the impression of a man of 
noble character. One is reminded of the reply of lole when 
questioned as to how she knew Hercules was a god, ' Because I 
was content the moment my eyes fell on him. When I beheld 
Theseus I desired that I might see him offer battle, or at least 
guide his horses in the chariot race ; but Hercules did not wait 
for a contest. He conquered whether he stood, or walked, or 
sat, or whatever thing he did.' He was a man of noble presence, 
dignified, genial and self-possessed. I believe he would have 
been as self-possessed in the palace of a king as in the cot of 
the humblest of his subjects. And this not from any egotism, 
but rather from its absence, from a certain innate something 
which would place him on an equal footing with kings. 

He was offered the candidacy of some of the highest ofBces 
in the County, which he always declined on account — as he 
claimed — of the deficiency of his early training in the schools." 
— Mrs. Helen R. Barnsdall. 

" Dear Dr. Greene : 

Your great uncle, Rufus Greene, was a man of strong mind and great 
influence in the communities where he lived. His photo indicates firm- 
ness of character. In religion a Universalist, he was ready on all proper 
occasions to give a reason for 'the faith that was in him.' In politics 
originally a Democrat, he later, I think, was first a Freesoiler and then a 
R.epublican. I have been told that he at one time compelled Reverend, 
afterward Dr., Zechariah Eddy, whom you knew at Northampton (and a 
very good man he was too), to apologize for statements he had made in 
public respecting the Universalist religion. 

Yours very truly, 

LUCIUS M. BOLTWOOD."

Mary Sheldon (Boltvvood) Greene; b. in Amherst, Nov. 
10, 1813 ; m. in Carroll, N. Y., Oct. 29, 1831, Horatio 
Nelson Thornton ;. she d. in Carroll, N. Y., Jan. 18, 1897, 
ae. 83 yrs., 11 nis. He was a son of Joseph and Rebecca 
(P'oster) Thornton and was b. in Butternuts, Otsego Co., N. 
Y., Sept. :o, 1S08. He was by occupation a farmer in Carroll, 
N. Y., where he res. over sixtj^ years. He d. in Carroll, N. Y., 
May 10, 1891, ae. 82 yrs., 8 nis. 

" As to my parents' education, life work etc., I would say : 
An elementary education, supplemented by reading which kept 
them abreast of the times, was the extent of their advantages in 
this direction. In religion they were Universalists, and 
devoted members and leaders of a society of that denomina- 
tion in Carroll."— Mrs. Helen R. Barnsdall. 

" Horatio Nelson Thornton was not a graduate of any col- 
lege ; he never held an elective ofhce, except that of assessor. 
This post, I remember, he held a number of successive years. 
He was a man upon whom the honors and emoluments of 
office would have to be thrust, if he had them at all. He had 
something of a literary bent, and contributed in his earlier 
years frequently to the newspapers in prose and verse, and 
might, if he had properly appreciated his own powers, or been 
ambitious, have won laurels in that line. But the grind of a 
farmer's life is apt to take out its poetry, or, at least, the 
expression of it. Or perhaps, more correctly estimating the 
case, the gift which seemed a fine one when exercised, was not 
there in sufficient force to demand expression in spite of the 
grind, as in other notable instances. 

Later in life his contributions were political, and attracted 
the notice of able minds. x\fter the publication of one of these, 
the late Gov. Kenton called upon him to express his apprecia- 
tion of the article and congratulate him upon it, proposing that 
he become a candidate for the L/Cgislature, offering to use his 
influence in his support, an honor which my father wisely 
declined, being then in his seventieth year of age." — Mrs. 
Helen R. Barnsdall.

but she continued her studies as strength permitted, hoping to 
fit herself for a wider field of usefulness. Hampered though 
she was by a frail body she struggled bravely and hopefully on, 
always solicitous for the welfare and happiness of all around 
her. She has left to her friends a beautiful example and a 
precious memory.

A friend very dear to her wrote : "To me she was a very 
dear sister. I believe she was the purest minded person, the 
most unselfish, that I ever knew. The world is better for her 
short and beautiful life, the influence of which was only for 
good. Wherever she is now she has her queenly gems of char- 
acter with her, and the love her friends cherish for her will 
never die." 

A schoolmate in the Normal School wrote : ' ' Her ambition 
spurred me on to higher and nobler things ; her gentleness to 
purer and worthier deeds."

X. lyiicina Green, dau. of Timothy Greeu, Jr., and Sybil 
(Hastings) Green; b. in Amherst, July i6, 1792; m. in Am- 
herst by Rev. Nathan Perkins,' Jan. 9, 1817, Chester 
Rice of Amherst ; she d. in Beloit, Wis., Dec. 20, 1856. He was 
b. in Amherst, Mar. i, 1794; d. in Beloit, Wis., Mar. 7, i860. 

He moved from Amherst in 1824 to Marion, N. Y.; res. in 
Marion twent3'-two years; moved to Beloit, Wis., in 1846. 

" My grandfather, Chester Rice, was a brick and stone 
mason by trade. My father, Chester Clark, learned his trade 
of Chester Rice in Marion, N. Y. Grandfather lived on a farm 
in New York State, and worked some at his trade also. He did 
the same when he first came to Beloit, Wis. About 1850 he 
fell from a high staging with cousin Frederick Green, while 
working on a Hotel Block that my father was building. His 
injuries were not serious, but they were a warning that he was 
unfit for such work. Soon after this he became for six years a 
very successful manager of a bookstore in Beloit, Wis. He was 
never very strong physicall}^ ; he seemed to be a Christian from 
his birth ; it was always easy for him to be sweet and good. He 
was a Deacon in the First Congregational Church in Beloit, Wis. 
He exerted a very marked and helpful spiritual influence on 
many of the earlier graduates of Beloit College. His wife, 
IvUcina Green, took an active part, with Mrs. President Chapin 
and the wives of the Professors in Beloit College, in all Christian 
work ; especially in the female prayer meetings, which were 
often held at my grandmother's house. Earnest Christian 
workers in the church or in the college were then of great value. 
My grandmother never grew weary or faint-hearted, but full of 
faith and hope and love she entered into every good work and 
persevered in it to the end." — Elijah Harlan Clark.

moved from Granby to Vershire, Vt., where he lived till his 
wife's death, June 7, 1877. Then he lived with his son, Alman

Moody formed the acquaintance of Judith Green. She was 
considered a very bright and promising young woman. 

" My father and mother always went to church and the 
prayer meeting, when their health would permit. They also 
had family worship and blessings at the family meals. My 
father was a great reader of books and newspapers, being 
particularly interested in political and war news. My mothei 
was content to read the New Testament, of which she was never 
weary. They were very unreserved and affectionate in their 
home life with their children. Father lived on a farm, but you 
could hardly call farming his occupation, as he had a work- 
shop and was a veritable genius — could make anything in 
fact. He was at different times a wheelwright, a carpenter, a 
maker of chairs, tables, baskets, boots and shoes. He was a 
good shoemaker. He could also clean clocks as well as his 
two sons, L,evi and Augustus." — Mrs. Malansa Judith Sherburn. 

" My father had a good education in the English branches. 
He was quite a reader of books and had quite a mechanical 
taste. 

Both he and my mother were members of the Calvinistic 
Baptist Church.

and good citizen ; a man of sterling integrity and of strict moral 
character." — Obituary in the Agency City News, in 1878. 

"My father, Levi Moody, moved from Vershire, Vt., in 
April, 1 861, to Highland township, Iowa, where he lived on a 
farm about eight years ; then he sold his farm and bought a 
small fruit farm near Agency City, Iowa, where he res. till his 
death, Aug. 26, 1878."— Mrs. Flora E. Hale. 

"My father, Levi Moody, had a good common school 
education. His memory was quite remarkable; he could give 



JUDITH GREEN. — BRANCH. 189 

exact dates and tell when many important events occurred. He 
was a kind of encj^clopedia of facts and incidents of note. Being 
deeply interested in the happenings of his time he could give 
his listeners much valuable information. He was affable and 
his company was sought by many. 

He had a pleasant disposition, and was a kind and affection- 
ate husband and father. His children loved as well as revered 
him. While living at Vershire, Vt., he worked at the carpen- 
ter's trade and built several fine houses. His father, Silas 
Moody, worked with him, especially in his shop where they 
made many carts. 

While living in Vershire, Vt., he and his wife joined the 
Baptist Church. At Vershire, in 1853, his wife died leaving 
two little ones, one an infant who d. soon after; the other a 
little girl of four years. About three years after this, in 1856, 
he moved on to a farm. At that time, in 1856, he married again. 
In 1861 he moved to Iowa and settled in Ottumwa first, then in 
Agency City where he lived till his death in 1878. His wife, 
two daughters and six sons survived him. 

I cannot find words to express my idea of my mother as those 
who knew her have told me of her. Her true Christian charac- 
ter and sweet sunny disposition have always made her the ideal 
of v.'omanhood to me. She was a sweet singer, and she sang 
in the choir in our small home church, in Vt., the beautiful 
hymns of praise to our I^ord and Master."— lb.

196 FAMILY OF TIMOTHY AND EUNICE (ELI^SWORTH) GREEN. 

He was discharged Aug. 16, 1865, by reason of the expira- 
tion of the War. He was sunstruck on Maryland Heights in 
August, 1863, and was in consequence confined to the hospital 
sixty days ; then he returned to duty, but has suffered from the 
effects of it ever since. 

He and his wife are charter members of the M. K. Church 
in Methuen. 

" As to the home life of my father and mother the most 
marked characteristic has been the unselfish spirit shown 
throughout a long life of care and trouble. Of their early years 
together I know only from hearsay. The struggle then was to 
own their home and buy a sawmill, run by water power, to use 
as a means of earning a support for the family. There was 
much regret when both were given up, because the burden was 
too great for them to carry along with the necessary expense of 
caring for their children. 

A love of education was early instilled into the minds of 
the children, and we were urged to take a high stand in our 
classes. From father we inherited a fondness for mathematics, 
together with mechanical skill. From mother came a love for 
music, art and needlework. Mother wrote what seemed to us 
beautiful poetry, words which could they have found their right 
place in print would have inspired many with her unselfish 
devotion to her home and children. Father gave to us that 
careful painstaking in handiwork which makes even common- 
place things lovely. Mother created an atmosphere of peace 
and confidence everywhere. Mother's skill in making a little 
go a long way in suppl5dng needs, together with the gift of 
working rapidly, was a great help to the faniil5\ Besides the 
care of the family, she helped in the earning of the means of 
support by picking berries and binding shoes. 

When in 1862 the call to arms for the defence of the coun- 
try came, father left his work and home and gave his life to 
save the nation which was so dear to him. He has never been 
the same since the war as before, because he received a sun- 
stroke in the Army, Aug., 1863. He was always a lover of 
books and fond of reading. His quotations from the Bible so 
often made even when he did not know what he said, shows an 



jUDlfH GREEN. — BRANCH. I97 

earlj^ love for sacred teachings and a strong memory. His 
mind was in his father's home early stored with sacred truth." 
— Clara Moody Lovejoy. 

CHIIvDREN : 

I. Sarah Melina Moody; b. in Methuen, Jan. 15, 1S53; 
earning the means herself she studied three years in Mt. 
Holyoke Seminary ; taught four years in the public schools of 
Massachusetts; graduated in 1881 at the Boston Lying-in- 
Hospital. 

" Since 1881 she has been a private nurse in her specialty 
of Obsteterics, commanding the best of salar}-. Most of this 
salary is used : first, to make father and mother happy and 
comfortable ; secondly, to give others the education which she 
has secretly longed for and to make those around her appreciate 
and love the cause of Jesus our Lord and Master. Her whole 
life has been one of self-sacrifice for others. Just to know of her 
unselfish devotion to those around her shows vividly the unself- 
ishness in the lives of both our father and mother. May the 
memorj' of such pure and noble lives live forever." — Clara 
Moody Lovejoy.

APPENDIX G. 

As it is a legitimate aim of a genealogy to make a fair showing of the 
family, individual modesty should not withhold facts which reflect credit 
on the whole. The author of this book has recorded frankly and fully 
whatever of good he could gather about other members of the family, 
dead or living. His children claim that for the family's sake the facts 
about him should be as frankly and fully stated. Acting for his children 
I furnish this Appendix to the volume as our father leaves it. 

— WiIjLiam Storks Greene. 

When John Morton Greene resigned the pastorate of the Eliot 
Church in Ivowell, in 1900, he had a library of four thousand well- 
selected volumes. 

He received from Amherst College, his alma muter, three academical 
degrees : A. B. in 1853 ; A. M. in 1856 ; D. D. in 1881. 



Professor W. S. Tyler, in his history of Amherst College, p. 536, 
speaks a few commendatory words of each of the Overseers of the Char- 
itable Fund of the College. Of the author of this book he says : " Rev. 
John M. Greene, of the class of '53, Tutor in 1855-7, Trustee and Secre- 
tary of Mt. Holyoke Seminary, father of Smith College at Northampton, 
the earnest pastor and the zealous friend of education." 



The following document explains itself : 

"Smith Coi^i^kge, Northampton, Mass. 

June 20, 1894. 
Rev. John M. Greene, D. D. 

Dear Dr. Greene : — 

The following extract is fi'om the President's 
report to the Trustees at the last annual meeting : 

' It has seemed to me most fitting that the college should in some 
permanent memorial express its indebtedness to that member of our 
board to whose intelligent plans and wise counsel the world is greatly 
indebted for the origin of Smith College. Unfortunately his name, 
although an honored one, has a technical significance which would make 
it somewhat confusing if it were affixed to any building; but it may 
appropriately be connected with a professorship, and I would therefore 
suggest that a professorship of Philosophy be designated as the John M. 
Greene Professorship. I hope, also, it may be possible to secure a suita- 
ble portrait of our honored coadjutor, which may remain in the Assembly 



2o8 PROFESSOR EDWARDS A. PARK. 

Hall, by the side of Miss Smith's, to express to the coming generations 
his historic connection with the founding of Smith College.' 

This suggestion was received with great satisfaction by the Trustees, 
and the following votes were unanimously passed : 

Voted, that the professorship of Greek Language and Literature be 
called the John M. Greene Professorship as a memorial of the indebted- 
ness of the world to his intelligent plans and wise counsel in the origin 
of Smith College. 

Voted, that the option be given him to elect another professorship 
as such a memorial, on consultation with the President. 

Voted, that he be requested to allow the Trustees to secure his por- 
trait to be placed in the Assembly Hall by the side of Miss Smith's. 

I sincerely hope that these votes may not be displeasing to yourself. 
I have long wished that in some way we might publicly and perma- 
nently testify concerning your services in reference to the founding of 
Smith College, and I could think of no better way to do it than the way 
which 1 have suggested. It seemed as if the Greek Professorship would 
be more fitting for such designation, as it was the first established, and I 
understand, also, that you were especially noted for Greek scholarship 
during your college course. Should another be more acceptable to you, 
I will gladly arrange it. 

I hope, also, that you will permit us to secure your portrait from 
some competent artist, like Benson in Boston, that it may be placed by 
the side of the founder of Smith College in Assembly Hall. 

We were sorry that other engagements prevented j'ou from being 
with us at our annual meeting and at the Commencement exercises. 

Cordially yours, 

L. CLARK SEELYE." 



In 1895 Professor Edwards A. Park of Andover, Mass., on the occa- 
sion of the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Dr. Greene's 
settlement in Lowell, wrote to the Eliot Church : " I congratulate you 
that you have enjoyed the pastorate of such a man for a longer time than 
falls to the lot of many parishioners. He has not been swayed by pop- 
ular prejudices, but has moved straight forward in the discharge of his 
parochial duties. Accordingly he has a character that endures. The 
city of Lowell has been favored with clergymen who will be remembered 
by a distant posterity, but not one of them will be remembered longer 
than the present pastor of the Eliot Church. He was the father of Smith 
College, now so flourishing in Northampton, Mass. Had it not been for 
him that great institution would never have existed. For this great ben- 
efaction to the world he will be honored a hundred years hence." 



DR. SMITH BAKER'S LETTER. 209 

On the same 25th anniversary occasion in 1895, tbe Kliot Church 
received a letter from Rev. Smith Baker, D. D., then a pastor in Boston, 
Mass. Dr. Baker, for twenty years [1871 -1891], had been a most success- 
ful pastor of the First Congregational Church in Lowell, and he and Dr. 
Greene were, during all that time, neighbors, pastors of sister churches 
and intimate friends. 

The following is Dr. Baker's letter : 

"To THE Eliot Church, Lowell, Mass. 
My Dear Friends : 

The many years of faithful service which Rev. Dr. John M. Greene 
has given the Eliot Church and the city of Lowell is excuse enough for any 
words of personal commendation which his mauy friends may be pleased 
to say. It wap my great privilege to be associated with him in the Con- 
gregational ministry in Lowell for twenty years. Perhaps no other two 
Congregational ministers in the city were so intimate for so long a time. 
We spent many hours in each other's studies ; we read and talked and 
studied together. We shared each other's joys and burdens. We were 
together in trials and in successes, and we formed a friendship which has 
grown stronger with the years and been a joy to our hearts, and the 
memory of which will ever be a delight. No one rejoices more than the 
writer in the record of solid work which has filled his life. His minis- 
try has been marked by certain characteristics. 

Dr. Greene has been a painstaking Biblical scholar. His life has been 
one of hard study. He has a passion for books, and his circle of general 
reading has not only been broad, but, with a special fondness for particu- 
lars, he has been a student of dictionaries, and this has made him a 
learned man. There has not been in the city for many years, if there 
ever was, a preacher of higher authority in all branches of theological 
scholarship. He has also been a diversified student of literature, and 
maintained the fondness of early life for new books ; and he has often 
remarked that if either of us dies a poor man, it will be because we have 
put our spare money into books and not into the bank. The study has 
been the place of honor with him, where he has done faithful work for 
his people and for Christ. Hence his sermons have been instructive, 
logical and strong, a constant education to his hearers, with nothing in 
the least degree sensational, but always new to his people, because new 
to himself, the result of constant work,— not trusting to the inspiration 
of the hour or to any past experience or to his natural gifts, but worked 
oiit with a student's faithfulness. He has been a conservative student, 
not refusing to learn the old, but not receiving the new because it was 
new. He has believed in the permanent power of the old and eternal 
truths, and been always ready to receive new light. He has faithfully 
preached what the Word of God has revealed to him, loyal to his con- 



2ro DR. SMITH baker's LETTER. 

science aud to Christ. To this conservative faithfulness is due the suc- 
cess of his long pastorate. He has had faith in God's Word and has 
honored it, and it has honored him. 

Dr. Greene has been to his people a cautious, true and warm friend. 
He has always believed what he has said ; and when proper he has said 
what he believed. There has been no affectation in his nature. His people 
could trust him — such men always find a deep place in human hearts ; 
aud the longer they are known the more they are loved. 

He has been an ardent, active friend of higher education in all its 
forms, devoting much of his time to planning for its advancement. He 
has been known as the enemy of every evil and the advocate of all 
reforms. His pulpit has been outspoken against the vices of the age. 
He has never set up men of straw in order to show his rhetorical skill in 
knocking them down ; but whenever a real evil has appeared he has 
given his hardest blows against it. He has never resorted to the cheap 
aud sensational practice of denouncing men, but has ever called atten- 
tion to the fundamental principles of righteousness. He has dealt more 
with reasou than with sentiment; more with the conscience than with the 
emotions ; and his life with his people has been an illustration of his 
faith. Unassuming, sincere, sympathetic and righteous, he has sought 
to be what he would have his people become. His growing influence 
in all these years has been that of a cultured mind and a pure character 
— the incarnation of realness. He has had the combined power of 
instruction and example. His people have never been afraid of his 
doing an unwise or foolish thing. They could trust him upon all occa- 
sions to honor himself and honor them. He has always been a safe guide 
to follow. Thus year after year his strength has grown, his influence has 
increased, aud the love and admiration of his people for him have 
become stronger. 

To his brethren in the ministry he has been a kind and wise adviser. 
The church, the city, the world are richer for his long pastorate. Mul- 
titudes of hearts are stronger in the Christian faith for his ministrations, 
and hundreds in heaven will ever rejoice because of his sympathies and 
prayers. May God spare him many years longer to the ministry of love 
and reconciliation ; for when he departs the world will be poorer because 
of his absence, and many of our hearts will be lonesome without him. 
Not being permitted, because of an engagement out of the State, to unite 
with his people in their public recognition of his services, I offer this as 
a private token of personal affection. — Smith Baker." 

Boston, Mass., Sept. 25, 1895.
